New York Real Estate

Battery Park is one of Manhattans newest neighborhoods. In 1962 there was a plan to the shipping terminals area by combining housing, offices and industry. By 1976, the 92-acre landfill was completed and the Battery Park community centers were in a position to get started.

There are no walk-ups, brownstones or tenements buildings or other older style architecture in Battery Park. All buildings are modern luxury hi-rises in either condos or rentals formats.

Residents are family-type Wall Street businessman and women who enjoy the living close to work. It offers a complete range activities appealing to many lifestyles ie., gyms, restaurants, indoor tennis, racquetball, golf facilities, etc. The boardwalk along the West Hudson is a well-used route by bikers, as well as those rollerblading and jogging.

The only possible draw back of the neighborhood can be a large number of tourists who come here to visit the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Center. Though they generally stick a specific path, which does not lie along any of the resident buildings, some of them tend to venture into other parts of the neighborhood and thus "interfere" with its residents.

Being away from the rest of the city Battery Park has developed into a neighborhood of its own. Few things are walking distance. As a result it's become something of a unique almost suburban-like lifestyle.
