We’ve been living in the financial district for roughly about four years. It’s very peaceful and quiet, especially on the weekends if you don’t mind the tourists walking around. The neighborhood is very safe as I live on Wall Street, however at nights, there are sometimes rowdy college students or skateboarders walking the streets – drunk. But the 24 hour doormen, constant patrolmen, and armed guards on Wall Street make you feel safer.

The area is within walking distance of several great locations – Native American museum, financial museum, Jewish museum, New York Stock Exchange, Battery Park City, Tribeca, Chinatown, and a 24 hour grocery store.

Thinking towards the future, the financial district has its ups and downs, even though most people I know think that the neighborhood is too quiet and boring for someone my age, I like it and don’t think I’d want to live anywhere else.

If you like peace, quiet, and the ability to walk around to several places without crowds in your path, then the financial district is the best place to be.
