Our Take
This block has unbeatable walkability and transit, and the median income is high, so you’ll find plenty of amenities close by. Rent and home prices are steep, but the low flood risk and good schools make it worth it if you can afford the cost. It’s a solid choice for professionals who want to live close to Manhattan.
