About Manhattan’s prime neighbourhoods compared

By the ULTIMATE New York Editorial Team

Each of Manhattan’s best-known residential neighbourhoods has its own character, from the pre-war co-ops of Fifth and Park Avenues to the loft conversions of Tribeca and DUMBO.

Upper East Side

Grand pre-war co-ops on Fifth and Park Avenues, townhouses on the side streets, Museum Mile and Madison Avenue’s boutiques.

Upper West Side

Central Park West’s landmark apartment buildings, brownstone blocks, Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History.

Choosing a neighbourhood in New York is choosing a way of life.

Billionaires’ Row

The supertall towers along West 57th Street and Central Park South, with park views and hotel-style services.

Downtown

Tribeca’s converted warehouses and lofts, the townhouses of the West Village, and new towers in Hudson Yards and the Financial District.

DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights

Warehouse conversions and new waterfront buildings in DUMBO, and brownstones in Brooklyn Heights, one subway stop or a ferry ride from Lower Manhattan.

Our advice: walk a neighbourhood on a weekday evening and a weekend morning before you decide. We do not publish prices.
