A central location with some of the city’s best shopping and dining
The Flatiron District is a vibrant, bustling neighborhood in downtown Manhattan. It takes its name from the 22-story, triangular-shaped Flatiron Building on Fifth Avenue, and the Beaux-Arts and Renaissance revival architecture of the early 20th century is part of the area’s charm. Its central location allows residents easy access to the city and offers a range of shopping and dining options, from casual to upscale. Parks are another draw. “The neighborhood starts with Madison Square Park and runs through Union Square Park. A city is as valued as its greenery, and this area is adding green spaces,” says Lois Planco, a Compass agent who has lived in the district for over 20 years.

Historic shopping district with a Harry Potter store
The Flatiron District has long been a shopping destination, known at the end of the 19th century as a luxury retail destination dubbed the Ladies’ Mile. Today, clothing stores line Fifth Avenue, and funky spots like bespoke home goods store Fishs Eddy can be found along the area’s cross streets. Harry Potter New York is across from Madison Square Park and is a must for Hogwarts fans from all over. There’s a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe’s in the area, and the Union Square Greenmarket is open four days a week. In addition, “there’s a restaurant on every corner of every block,” Planco says. That includes the first Shake Shack, a burger joint helmed by chef Danny Meyers, as well as his more formal eateries, Union Square Café and Gramercy Kitchen. There’s also the Italian food mecca Eataly, plant-based Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park and Veronika, which serves up European classics with a twist above Fotografiska, a contemporary photography museum.

From loft living to new construction at One Madison
Many buyers are drawn to move-in-ready new construction, Planco says. Projects include 55 West 17th or One Madison, where a three-bedroom unit costs around $8 million. The Flatiron District also offers loft spaces, with a renovated three-bedroom unit in a co-op building priced at about $3 million. One-bedroom units start at around $700,000, and studios cost around $500,000. The area also has townhouses beginning around $10 million. In a few years, buyers can live in the Flatiron Building, which is set to be converted to about 40 luxury residences.

Art installations at Madison Square Park
Madison Square Park, across from the Flatiron Building, provides more than 6 acres of green space to the neighborhood. The park has a dog run and walking paths, and its seasonal public art installations make it a destination for all New Yorkers. Union Square Park has lawns and benches, and in recent years, several pedestrian plazas have been carved out along Broadway. “People can just sit down and lounge, and they run almost park to park,” Planco says.
