NEIGHBORHOOD

New York City’s oldest neighborhood has evolved from its business district past. Now the Financial District is a highly desirable residential community and a vibrant destination in its own right, every day of the week. The new South Street Seaport has brought independent boutiques, award-winning restaurants, world-class concert venues, and plush amenities to the area’s historic cobblestone streets, and the waterfront boasts miles of running and biking trails, green spaces, and stunning vistas of the New York Harbor. Though the neighborhood provides everything one could want downtown, there’s easy access to transportation should you need to leave—nearly every major train line in the city passes through Fulton Transit Center or the Oculus, and Pier 11 offers ferry rides to the Brooklyn waterfront and the Rockaways.
