Battery Park City luxury studio apartment rentals

BATTERY PARK CITY
Created in the late 1970’s, Battery Park City is a relatively new neighborhood. Battery Park City was planned from the beginning as a residential community for WTC and Wall Street workers. At least 1/3 of the land mass of Battery Park City was actually created artificially using the soil dug up from the World Trade Center foundation.

Nestled in the southwest corner of the island of Manhattan along the Hudson River, Battery Park City truly offers a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. While only blocks away from the financial district, it is a primarily residential neighborhood that offers serenity and convenience, a combination that is not easily found elsewhere in Manhattan.

The Battery Park City area is a carefully planned urban village of luxury condominium and rental apartment buildings. It is characterized by parks, wide streets and features a tree-lined waterfront Esplanade - all designed to give its inhabitants a strong sense of open space. The buildings are varied in their design, only a “stone-throw” away from the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and New Jersey.

A stroll through Battery Park City can be a very satisfying experience. Within just a few blocks, you can sit and relax in a lush green garden, enjoy the Marina’s facilities, check out nearly two dozen public-art installations, visit one of four diverse museums, listen to free outdoor concerts at the South Street Seaport and Winter Garden and dine at your choice of restaurants. Businessmen can enjoy the proximity to the financial district, having easy access to and from work.

Nature lovers can enjoy some of downtown's greatest greenery, all hugging the western bank of the neighborhood, which also features small piers and footbridges in watery coves, as well as grassy open fields. In fact, Battery Park City is a superb combination of green foliage, peacefulness and water views.
