Battery Park City, bordered by the Financial District on West Street, is planned community located on the southwestern tip of Lower Manhattan and a prominent example of community renewal. Surrounded by the Hudson River on three sides, this 92-acre stretch of land has grown into an intimate part of New York City that flawlessly balances urban living with an array of scenic views and green spaces.

It may not feel exactly like it now, but spring is coming soon to New York City! The sloppy weather we have been experiencing for the past few days is going to make way for a glorious, warm season which will make most of us want to spend more time outdoors in the city. This is where living near a park comes in handy—the city’s beautiful parks are a great place to hang out and soak up the sunshine during the warmer months.
