Downtown West
I want to live downtown." For years, this has been the mantra of a new generation of students and professionals
living and relocating to New York City. And no wonder. From Chelsea to Battery
Park City, the Downtown West corridor offers some of the
best nightlife and residential living in Manhattan. Battery Park
City is an excellent example of an successful urban planning development.
TriBeCa—the triangle below Canal Street-once a warehouse
district, is home to some of the city's trendiest galleries, restaurants,
and lofts. SoHo—south of Houston Street--is a thriving
destination for shopping and dining. And the diversity and architectural
charm of Greenwich Village West and Chelsea
make these residential neighborhoods two of the most sought after areas
to live in Manhattan.
