Financial District

Inquire about Financial District Apartments for Sale

Downtown Financial District is located on the southernmost section of Manhattan from the West Side Highway to the East River and bounded on the north by Park Place to Vesey Street. It encompasses roughly the south area of City Hall Park excluding Battery Park and Battery Park City. The corner of Wall Street and Broad Street is considered the heart of the neighborhood. Although the area is fast becoming more residential as more and more apartments are being constructed within the district (such as 3 Hanover Square, 55 Liberty and 150 Nassau) as well as several upscale hotels, Financial District is still primarily a haven of commercial transactions and daytime workers from around Manhattan and the surrounding neighborhoods.

If you want to visit FD’s famous attractions, start with the Federal Hall National Monument at the corner of Wall Street and Nassau Street, where George Washington was inaugurated. The historic South Street Seaport located on Fulton Street near East River features some of the oldest architecture in downtown Manhattan not to mention hundreds of cafes, restaurants and shops plus stunning river views. The Financial District also hosts six museums including the Fraunces Tavern Museum with a collection of artifacts from the Colonial period to the mid-19th century.

Although Financial District is synonymous with “Wall Street,” the life of the neighborhood doesn’t stop with the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange. There’s plenty of life after dark in this side of Manhattan including hotel bars, sports bars, restaurants, strip clubs and lounges. Public transport will be the least of your problem as the Downtown Connection offers free bus services and runs from South Street Seaport to Battery Park City.
