Financial District
The Financial District includes everything below Chinatown and Tribeca to the southern tip of theManhattan. The home of Wall Street, this neighborhood used to turn into a ghost after the closing bellrang at the stock market. But a steady increase in residential space has turned the Financial District intoa bonafide neighborhood, complete with bustling with shops and restaurants that cater to the growingfulltime population. Investment bankers and stock brokers' love being able to walk to work, and forthose with jobs further north, the subway access can't be beat. Many residents choose to live in theenclave of Battery Park City, sort of a city within the city, with its own shops, restaurants, even a marina.
Housing
Many of the Financial District's residential buildings are converted office spaces. A large percentage ofthese are doorman buildings boasting hotel-like luxuries, including private gyms, parking garages andbest of all, incredible views of the Hudson and East Rivers.
