Manhattan Apartments:
Tribeca & Battery Park City

Lower Manhattan presents an interesting mix of the old and the new. Colonial churches nestle in the shadows of iconic skyscrapers. New York's biggest urban renewal project is underway as the World Trade Center is being reconsidered and re-built.

Battery Park City, created in the late 1980s, is a masterpiece of urban planning. The area is entirely self-supporting with services, shops, open plazas, restaurants and a yacht harbor to satisfy every business and recreational need. Many of the apartments offer sweeping harbor and city views. Rent-Direct.com keeps you up-to-date about all vacancies so you can join this unique neighborhood.

Rent-Direct.com also gives you access to rentals popping up all around the financial district. Old office buildings all around Wall Street are being converted to luxury "lofty" apartments. An area once deserted at night is rapidly becoming residential and lively as new restaurants and stores appear continually. Tribeca (the TRIangle BElow CAnal Street) north of the financial district, has experienced a gentrification similar to SoHo over the last 10 years. An area once occupied by warehouses has become a bastion of loft-living, galleries and cafes.
