New development and culture downtown, with an industrial edge
Measuring 33 square blocks on downtown Manhattan’s west side, Hudson Square once served as the city’s printing district. Bordered by the Hudson River and the fashionable neighborhoods of the West Village, Soho and Tribeca, the area retains some of that industrial edge. Many Hudson Square structures date back to the early 1800s, but it is also an area of significant new construction including luxury condos and tech giant headquarters. Google opened a 1.3 million-square-foot “Googleplex” here in 2023, and The Walt Disney Company plans to debut a 19-story New York office in 2024. “It’s still pretty industrial and is one of the only areas not fully developed downtown,” says David A. Palmieri, an agent with The Corcoran Group. “Inventory is super-limited.”
Welcome to the Hudson Square neighborhood of New York City.

Torch & Crown Brewery includes an airy restaurant and beer garden, inventive cocktails and city views can be had at Hotel Hugo’s rooftop bars and the historic Ear Inn dates to 1817. For groceries, there is a Trader Joe’s in the area, and a Brooklyn Fare close by in the West Village.

Amenity-rich condos and historic townhouses
Most homes in Hudson Square are condominiums. Co-ops, found in older buildings, are typically listed for between $1 and $2 million. A concentration of Federal and Greek Revival style townhouses from the 19th century form the Charlton-King-Vandam Historic District on the neighborhood’s east side. The area’s newer, full-service buildings feature designer interiors with high-end appliances, luxury finishes and extensive amenities such as fitness centers, media lounges and shared green spaces. These condos are generally listed for between $3 and $7 million. “You don’t find many full-service doorman buildings in the neighborhoods nearby because of zoning. They can’t build to those heights,” says Palmieri.

Small plazas balanced by Hudson River Park
Open green space in Hudson Square is limited. The Freeman plazas provide modest lawns, sitting areas and shade. Benches beneath tall trees offer respite in the compact Spring Street Park. Head to Hudson River Park’s Pier 40 for athletic fields, a boathouse, dog run and even a trapeze facility. The Hudson River Greenway, a 256-mile-long stretch with walking and bike paths, runs parallel to the riverside park. A 4000-square-foot science-themed playscape recently opened a few blocks south at Pier 26.
Even tennis courts can be found in Hudson Square.
Freeman Plaza is a great place to get away from it all.

A nexus of urban activity and development
