Manhattan is the busiest and most recognizable borough of New York City. Most homes here are apartments – co-ops, condominiums and rentals – in buildings that range from classic pre-war walk-ups to full-service towers.
Neighborhoods to know
- Harlem and Washington Heights – brownstones, wide avenues and strong community character.
- Upper West and Upper East Side – between Central Park and the rivers, popular with families.
- Midtown – close to offices and transit hubs.
- Lower Manhattan – newer condo buildings and waterfront parks.
Buying in Manhattan
