Neighborhood Profiles

Lower East Side

The Lower East Side (LES) is a neighborhood where New York’s storied history meets its high-end future. Known for its legendary nightlife and deep historic roots, the area has seen a dramatic transformation with the arrival of luxury towers like Essex Crossing. The housing stock is a unique mix of historic walk-up cooperatives, value-driven HDFC units, and ultra-modern condominiums that offer some of the best views in Downtown Manhattan.

Fordham

Fordham centers on the Grand Concourse and Fordham Road, one of the Bronx's busiest commercial corridors, with six-story Art Deco apartment buildings, prewar walk-ups, and brick rowhomes lining the surrounding residential streets. The B and D trains at Fordham Road, the 4 train on the Jerome Avenue Line, and Metro-North at Fordham Station provide multiple transit options. The New York Botanical Garden's 250 acres and the Bronx Zoo border the neighborhood, and Fordham University's Gothic campus occupies the historic Rose Hill Manor at its center.
