We are witnessing a new era in housing and it’s exciting.
Everyday small changes are occurring in the financial district which when aggregated together making the entire neighborhood a more desirable place to live. Things such as new restaurants, grocery stores, and dog groomers, to more street trees, wider sidewalks, expanded pedestrian spaces, and reimagined plazas reoriented from office worker lunch spaces to family recreation. I was walking around the financial district last night at and was amazed at how many people were out and about walking dogs and pushing strollers.
I may be in the minority, but I love that financial district lower manhattan neighborhood. I think it would be a great place to live.
