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.
