Neighborhood Profiles

Flatiron

The Flatiron District is a vibrant intersection of history, technology, and luxury living. Named after the iconic Flatiron Building, the neighborhood is centered around Madison Square Park and is a hub for the city's 'Silicon Alley.' The real estate market is famous for its grand cast-iron loft buildings with high ceilings and expansive floor plans, alongside ultra-luxury glass towers that offer modern amenities and central Manhattan convenience.

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.
