Manhattan: The Heart of New York City
Manhattan is the birthplace of New York City and remains its economic and cultural core. Originally home to the Lenape Native American tribes, the island became a permanent European settlement in the early 1600s and quickly evolved into a global center for commerce and trade.
Today, Manhattan spans roughly 22 square miles and is home to more than 1.5 million residents, making it the most densely populated borough in the United States. Its blend of history, innovation, and prestige continues to attract professionals, investors, and collectors from around the world.
Manhattan Demographics & Lifestyle
Manhattan is the third most populated borough in New York City, behind Brooklyn and Queens. As with the rest of the city, you’ll find pretty much every race, ethnicity, and country of origin represented in Manhattan’s population, with immigrants accounting for more than 40% of its residents.
The median household income in Manhattan is $99,350, though the largest share of the borough’s households earn anywhere from $100,001 to $250,000. These numbers place Manhattan’s median income well above the national median income of $80,610, with the area’s wealth being quite evident in the grand houses and world-class shopping and restaurants that heavily dot the island.
The borough’s concentration of wealth, luxury retail, and financial institutions makes it a natural hub for high-value asset transactions.
Education & Institutions in Manhattan
There are six school districts in Manhattan, which together serve the borough’s 16,250 K-12 students. Schools include celebrated public institutions and elite private academies, among them:
- The Dalton School, one of the most sought-after private schools in the state
- Stuyvesant High School, a top-ranked public school
- Riverdale Country School, ranked one of the best private schools in New York
- High School Math Science and Engineering at CCNY, a highly-selective public STEM academy
Manhattan is also the site of some of the country’s most prestigious colleges and universities, including Juilliard, Columbia University, Barnard College, and New York University (NYU), just to name a few.
Transportation & Accessibility
It may be an island, but Manhattan is extensively connected to its neighboring boroughs by means of subways, buses, and commuter lines managed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).
New York’s subway system operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, taking residents and visitors into Manhattan, out of Manhattan, and around the city. That’s good news for anyone looking to travel the city on a budget. If you’d rather travel by car, you can traverse a variety of primary roadways connecting Manhattan to the rest of NYC, including the West Side Highway, FDR Drive, and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel.
