Battery Park City
Lying on the southern tip of Manhattan, Battery Park City offers expansive greenery, tree-lined streets and spectacular water views. One of the city's newest neighborhoods, it hosts many luxury hi-rise apartments which blend with the nearby colonial buildings. Covering over 90 acres, Battery Park City is bounded by Chambers Street in the North to Pier A, and West Street to the East to the Hudson River. The land upon which it stands was created from the Hudson River using 1.2 million cubic yards of dirt and rocks excavated during the construction of the World Trade Center and certain other construction projects. Residents can enjoy waterfront walks, biking along the walkways and the numerous galleries of nearby Tribeca. Many professionals enjoy the proximity to the financial district, making it easy to get to and from work. Battery City Park sports a Marina, free outdoor concerts at the South Street Seaport and Winter Garden, and boats sailing off to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Since the destruction of 9/11, nowhere in New York is the city's determined spirit more abundant.

Chelsea
Chelsea is located between 34th street and Greenwich Village on the West Side. It is full of off Broadway theaters, art galleries, and restaurants as well as the landmark Chelsea Hotel, a favorite of many famous artists, writers and musicians. Chelsea is also home New York City's most modern, state-of-the-art sports complex. Chelsea Piers is a large complex where you can hit indoor batting cages, bowl, ice skate, drive golf balls or ice skate; it also features a health club and many sports leagues. The architecture in this area is unique. East of Ninth Avenue, the spacious and stylish loft warehouses give way to stunning landmark townhouses, prewar co-ops and new luxury high-rise buildings. Traditionalists will appreciate Historic Chelsea's Cushman Row, located between Ninth and Tenth Avenues on 20th Street.

In the past few years, Sixth Avenue has been transformed into a new 24/7 community with major new residential buildings and towers constructed. The side streets of Chelsea between 14th Street and 23rd Street are also seeing some major residential developments that keep upping the amenities and offer more dramatic architecture to the neighborhood

Until recent years, Chelsea was said to be the heart of the Garment and Flower districts. Today, it is one of the city's hottest zip codes.

Greenwich Village
Sometimes just known as “The Village,” this historic neighborhood is now famous for its outdoor cafés, legendary jazz spots, and magical little shops.

The area, which runs from Houston to 14th Streets, centers on Washington Square Park. The park is a dog-friendly oasis with an iconic arch designed by Stanford White marking the first presidential inauguration that took place in New York City. On the north side are the same beautiful nineteenth-century townhouses Henry James wrote about.

Also home to New York University, Greenwich Village boasts a wide variety of events and residents. With bright-eyed students, rosy-cheeked families, artists, celebrities, Wall Street professionals, and old-timers, the village is for anyone and everyone

East Harlem
East Harlem, also known as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio, has a good deal of culture and a real neighborhood feel. The neighborhood stretches from 96th to 125th Street between 5th and 1st Avenues on the East Side. It is home to some exciting new plans: East River Plaza, an upcoming mall on 116th Street off the FDR Drive, will have a Target, a Home Depot, and 1,200 parking spaces. On a smaller scale, plans are underway to revive La Marqueta, a historical greenmarket that goes back to a collection of pushcarts in the nineteen-twenties; Although it is thought by some to be a tough neighborhood, redevelopment of many older buildings is transforming East Harlem into one of Manhattan's new and upcoming areas. With its cultural and Latin flavor, East Harlem boasts some of the city's best and most inexpensive restaurants
