You'll navigate mostly mid-rise walk-ups (74% of the 575 tracked buildings) with pockets of higher density, flanked by Riverside Park to the west and Jackie Robinson Park to the north. The street level buzzes: Restaurant Row draws crowds, Broadway theaters anchor the cultural spine, and Hudson Yards looms as a constant backdrop.
