The Financial District encompasses the entire area below Chinatown and Tribeca to the southern tip of Manhattan. Several office buildings in the area have been converted for residential use making what was once a quiet place after the business day a vibrant neighborhood bustling with shops and restaurants that cater to the growing full-time population. This is an excellent location for those wishing to walk to work on Wall Street. Also in the area is Battery Park City, a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood within walking distance to the downtown business district.

The Financial District is home to the South Street Seaport with its beautiful harbor views, many shops and restaurants, as well as open-air concerts in the warmer months. At the very tip of the island you’ll find spectacular views of Governor’s and Ellis Islands and the Statue of Liberty. Also within walking distance are the Castle Clinton National Monument and the Jewish Heritage Museum.
