What makes Downtown such a great place to live?

• It's the spectacular scenery — the glinting waters of New York Harbor, the glowing torch of the Statue of Liberty, the enduring grace of the Brooklyn Bridge.

• It's 400 years of history — the timeless winding streets, the vintage 19th century storefronts, the brash, gleaming skyscrapers, the parks cooled by sea breezes.

• It's the superb transportation network.

• It's the eclectic mix of world-class cultural programs, excellent schools, great shopping for every budget, and fantastic recreation all within walking distance.

But most of all, it's the steady surge of newcomers that gives Downtown its cosmopolitan energy. The residential population of Lower Manhattan has more than doubled in the last eight years. And as the choices for housing grow, new schools are opening — along with new restaurants, grocery stores, shops, and service providers of all kinds.

The result is a global model for a vibrantly diverse 24/7 neighborhood, a place that is environmentally sustainable, safe, clean, and convenient — where the streets pulse with life and residents can walk to work, or jog along the harbor, or order a pizza at two in the morning should the spirit strike.

What makes Downtown so extraordinary? It is a place like no other in America.  Deeply rooted in the past, it is forever upgrading for the future. With beautiful homes, exciting jobs, a taste for every palate, shopping for every lifestyle, and more. Find your future in Lower Manhattan.
