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.

Sunset Park

Sunset Park features four landmarked historic districts of Italianate, Neo-Grec, and Romanesque Revival brick and brownstone rowhouses climbing the hillside between Fourth and Eighth Avenues in western Brooklyn. The namesake hilltop park offers panoramic Manhattan skyline views and a 1936 neoclassical public pool, while the commercial corridors along Fifth Avenue and Eighth Avenue anchor the neighborhood. The D train at Ninth Avenue, N/R at 36th-45th-53rd Streets provide multiple subway connections to Manhattan.
