Neighborhood Profiles

Roosevelt Island

Roosevelt Island is a unique and tranquil residential community situated in the East River between Manhattan and Queens. Known for its car-free streets, abundant green space, and stunning skyline views, it offers a peaceful retreat from the city's bustle. The real estate market is primarily composed of modern high-rise cooperatives and condominiums that provide a high quality of life with easy access to Manhattan via the iconic tram or the F train.

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.
