The Regatta

21 South End Avenue, Battery Park City, Manhattan, NY 10280

Sitting between West Street and the Hudson River at the southern tip of Manhattan, Battery Park City was created as a model residential community only a short distance from the Financial District. Construction began in 1980, and any residents in the area today would agree it was a success. Landscaped squares and paths separate residential buildings, while a riverside promenade runs along the neighborhood’s western edge. Battery Park City has a decidedly different pace and vibe from other parts of Manhattan, something made even more appealing by the sunset views over and cool breezes off of the Hudson. There is an almost festive air to the neighborhood on sunny summer weekends, as it feels like the entire city is rejoicing in a stroll along the promenade. And thanks to continuing retail and restaurant developments nearby, Battery Park City’s popularity only grows.
