DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN

Battery Park City

Waterfront calm at Manhattan's southern tip.

What it's like to live here

Battery Park City is a 92-acre planned community built along the Hudson on Manhattan's southwestern edge, and it feels different the moment you arrive. Where the rest of Downtown rushes, BPC slows down. A 1.2-mile landscaped esplanade, a string of parks (Rockefeller, Teardrop, South Cove, and Wagner), and wide-open river views give it a calm, almost suburban rhythm in the middle of the city. It has long been a favorite of families and professionals who want space, light, and quiet without leaving Lower Manhattan.

The housing stock is overwhelmingly mid- and high-rise condominiums and full-service buildings, with doormen, fitness centers, and many green-certified designs built around that waterfront lifestyle. Getting around is easy. The 1, R/W, and 4/5 lines sit just east, PATH service runs from the World Trade Center, and ferries to New Jersey leave from Brookfield Place.
