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.

Gowanus

Gowanus features a striking mix of 19th-century brick warehouses, Greek Revival rowhouses, and new glass-and-steel condominiums rising along the canal waterfront. The F, G, R, D, and N/W trains are accessible at nearby Smith-Ninth Streets and Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street stations, with Atlantic Terminal a short walk north. Washington Park and the Old Stone House landmark anchor the neighborhood's green space, while a major rezoning is bringing thousands of new residential units and waterfront parkland to the area.
