Financial District
Manhattan (Downtown)
Overview
Financial District apartments make great homes for residents who work in the area. The Financial District represents the southern tip of Manhattan and runs from the East River to the Hudson River (except for Battery Park City) and from South Ferry up to Barclay Street and the Brooklyn Bridge. The area is also referred to by some as Wall Street and is dominated by large office and residential buildings. It is truly a two-faced neighborhood; bustling during the weekdays and serene at night and on the weekends. The Financial District is comprised of luxury high rise doorman buildings, most of which have been converted from office buildings, banks and other commercial institutions. Many of these options offer modern furnishings, concierge service and multiple premium amenities, all included in the price. The population down here is a mix of young professionals and families with most working in offices nearby. There are certainly some popular spots for residents to spend their time. South Street Seaport offers good dining and drinking options with a small outdoor mall-like center for shopping. Food and other types of festivals are held there regularly and cater to all types of people. Battery Park, one of the largest parks in the city, can be utilized for recreational activities and possesses great views of the Hudson River and Statue of Liberty. Likewise, Governor’s Island, a short ferry ride away, provides individuals and families with even more space to bike ride, mini-golf and attend concerts.
