Neighborhood Profiles

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.

Financial District

The Financial District occupies the southern tip of Manhattan, where landmark office towers have been converted into spacious residential lofts alongside new luxury high-rise condominiums with river and harbor views. The Oculus and Fulton Center transit hubs connect over a dozen subway lines, including the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, and Z trains, making it one of the best-connected neighborhoods in the city. Battery Park, Bowling Green, and the 9/11 Memorial provide open green space and waterfront access at the foot of the skyline.
