Neighborhood Profiles

Chinatown

Chinatown occupies a dense section of Lower Manhattan centered on Canal Street, where 10 subway lines converge including the 6, J, N, Q, R, W, and Z trains, making it one of the most transit-rich neighborhoods below 14th Street. The housing stock consists primarily of prewar walk-up buildings alongside newer condominium developments and the 44-story Confucius Plaza residential tower. Columbus Park, one of the city's earliest public parks, and the 7.8-acre Sara D. Roosevelt Park provide open green space along the neighborhood's edges.

Midtown South

Midtown South encompasses the blocks around the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park, featuring converted loft-style condos, Beaux-Arts co-ops, and Art Deco apartment buildings alongside new residential towers. The R and W trains at 23rd Street, the 6 train on Park Avenue South, and the F and M trains on Sixth Avenue provide extensive subway coverage.
