"The Surburban Side of New York"
Located in the southern portion of Battery park City, so its relatively less congested. A new elementary school will be built two blocks away, so the location is ideal for parents with children. Great open spaces (Hudson River Park & Battery Park) and views of the Hudson River. Negatives are the relatively higher turnover rate of the residents compared to say, the Upper West side due to the dominance of one bedroom apartments and a large percentage of non-native new Yorkers.
