Business meets pleasure in this increasingly residential neighborhood
The Financial District has been a hub for banking and business almost from the moment Manhattan was founded. Its sidewalks still teem with financial workers, who rush down Wall Street, past the Charging Bull and Fearless Girl statues, all under New York City's tallest building, One World Trade Center. The area was deeply damaged by the September 11 attacks, but with government and private investment a slew of new condominiums and converted historic buildings mean more people are calling FiDi home. “The neighborhood has truly gone through a complete revitalization,” says Corey Wecler, a licensed associate real estate broker with Compass who’s been selling properties in the neighborhood since 2003. “Most of what exists today in the form of shopping, restaurants and neighborhood amenities has been a result of everything that's taken place over the course of the last 15 to 20 years.” On-trend shopping and dining draw people from across the city, an easy trip because most of NYC's subway lines converge there. “It’s a major selling point,” Alexis Gandelman, a broker with City Connections Realty, says of the transit options. “No matter where somebody needs to go [in the city], there’s a subway within a two-block radius.” Plus, “It’s old, but with a modern twist and very charming,” she says about the neighborhood, adding that many people also move downtown for its quality of life. This includes waterfront proximity, numerous parks, year-round community events and cleaner streets. “You’re in the city, but it feels like you’re not in the city.”
The famous Charging Bull in the heart of FiDi is visited by many travelers.
When visiting the Financial District in NYC, one can certainly feel its energy.

Condos in FiDi offer extensive amenities
New luxury high-rises are fast joining the many landmark buildings converted into amenity-laden condos. Wecler cites 15 Broad Street, designed by Philippe Starck, as one of the first large-scale conversion projects that helped transform the neighborhood. Many others have followed, including One Wall Street, a former bank headquarters in an Art Deco skyscraper. New condo buildings have also been popping up, like 130 William, a 66-story building noted for its dramatic arched windows. “The buyer who ends up purchasing in the Financial District is often somebody who values space over all other priorities in their search,” says Wecler. And buyers don’t have to resign themselves to conventional architecture. “It’s not cookie-cutter down there,” says Gandelman, noting that condo conversions work with existing floor plans. As an example, she mentions how there are some Flatiron-style buildings, which many buyers don’t realize. Prices start around $500,000 for a studio, although the median price for a 1-bedroom unit is closer to $1 million. Average home values are about twice that of the New York metro area. Even if the buildings are older, the office conversions mean that residences tend to be newer than other parts of the city. Those buildings tend to offer high-end amenities, like squash courts and screening rooms. More than 60 percent of the neighborhood buildings remain offices, and most residents of FiDi are renters.

Established haunts and newcomers like Printemps
For leisure, trendy new eateries have joined classic spots like Delmonico’s, considered the first fine-dining restaurant in the U.S., and Stone Street, the city’s oldest nightlife district. “A lot of people think the Financial District dies after working hours, and that’s simply not the case,” says Gandelman. “It’s a very fast-growing residential neighborhood and after hours you see people with their kids and dogs.” Eataly Downtown, a bread-focused version of the popular Italian market and food hall, and the Alamo Drafthouse, beloved for movies with a meal and cocktails, draw visitors from across the city. In nearby South Street Seaport, the Tin Building features a dozen dining and drinking options. And Brookfield Place, in neighboring Battery Park, is a mixed-use complex with food courts, a seasonal ice-skating rink and family-friendly events. High-end French department store Printemps is slated to open in the One Wall Street building in 2025, which now houses a new two-story Whole Foods and a Life Time Fitness. Gandelman notes that Battery Park City is close for more restaurants, bars and events. Also of note, the iconic Trinity Church was founded in 1697, although the current structure dates back to 1846. (Previous iterations were destroyed first by fire, then by snow.) Tourists flock to this Neo-Gothic church for its architecturally impressive features, newer stained-glass windows and historic cemetery, where the famed Alexander Hamilton rests in peace with his immediate family. Locals can attend regular services and an ongoing event series offering concerts and talks.

Green space surrounded by views
There is a good amount of green space to be found, mostly along the waterfront. The 11-mile Hudson River Greenway along the western edge offers biking and running on the water and the Battery at the southern tip of the island has a promenade and views. Smaller parks and dog parks are dotted throughout, including Zuccotti Park — once home to the Occupy Wall Street movement — and Imagination Playground with a sandbox and splash pad. The East River Park is undergoing a significant revitalization, with a new esplanade that will include re-landscaped paths and flood protections.

Subways, commuter lines and ferries are never far
Almost every subway line converges in FiDi, providing easy access to the rest of the city. The Oculus, a main transportation hub at World Trade Center, offers 12 lines and PATH trains to New Jersey; the Fulton Center is another hub. Ferries offer service to Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and more.
Pier 11 connects the Financial District with the rest of the city via ferries.

Financial District is a very safe neighborhood. It feels very nice and there is a lot of people here who walk around. It a big city space with lots of finance companies. There's also lots of food and stores here. Sometimes it's a little pricey and boring at times. But it is still a very nice neighborhood to grow up in.

I like the financial district because it is the typical fast paced environment New York City is know for during the day, however, quiet and more residential during the night. Not the best night life, but easy access to everywhere in New York City on Fulton Street.

I love living in the Financial District. I always have access to any part of the city. Almost every subway line stops through Fulton Station. The area is super safe, and I have never felt threatened coming home. There are three grocery stores walking distance, and many give student discounts. It's a younger crowd living in this area because Pace University is right here.
