About NYC: Manhattan Neighborhoods: Battery Park City

Click to show Map or List

Battery Park City apartments are located in a 25-acre residential and commercial complex bounded by Chambers Street to the north, West Street to the east, Pier A to the south and the Hudson River to the west. This is the New York City neighborhood that has been most affected by 9/11. It sat literally in the shadow of the World Trade Centers. The neighborhood is only now catching its breath and starting to pick up the pieces. And, the federal government is providing rent subsidies to entice people to the area.

Battery Park City was developed as a brand new city within a city on a landfill over the Hudson River at the southwest tip of Manhattan. This gorgeous neighborhood on the water was built to reflect urban suburbia at its best and to accommodate people who didn't want to commute from uptown.

The development was exquisitely planned with charming streets, boardwalks, parks and playgrounds. It has a marina, as well as an esplanade for jogging with beautiful views of New York harbor and the Statue of Liberty. It is the largest development ever constructed in New York City.

Battery Park City makes an excellent neighborhood for those tired of busier Manhattan locales, or for those relocating to the city. It's a quiet oasis among all the hustle and bustle, and reasonable prices on condos can often be found.

It is only a matter of time before this vibrant and gentrified neighborhood will be one of the most sought after in New York, so if you think this is for you, begin your search soon.
