1. 34th Leonard Street

While some modern apartments advertise their sustainability, Gotham West, the massive apartment building at 550 West 45th Street in Hell’s Kitchen, is attempting to entice future tenants with sustenance.

Most Manhattan neighborhoods have developed into neighborhoods with their own sets of rules, their own feel, unique reputation, and style. Typically, New Yorkers can travel from one area of the big city to another and have a completely different experience that is fantastic in its own way, but the Far West Side of New York City has been lagging when it comes to having its own unique personality and lively residential neighborhood. The space between Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen never really had a name or a purpose other than housing storage buildings that took up an entire block of space, gas stations, and parking lots. If you did live there, you’d have to walk south into Chelsea or north into Hell’s kitchen just to get to a place that was actually a successful neighborhood with things to do and places to eat and run errands explains the NY Post.
