  • The Financial District: a Neighborhood with Two Faces
    The Financial District: A Neighborhood With Two Faces By: Joshua Barone August 5th, 2015 Sara Benda remembers when the Financial District didn’t feel like a neighborhood. That was eight years ago, when she moved there shortly before giving birth to twins. Ms. Benda, 38, and her now ex-husband had been looking for a relatively inexpensive rental. “My broker tricked me by sending photos of the apartment first,” she said, referring to a unit she ended up renting at 15 Broad Street. “The layout looked open and lofty, and the design was very modern.” It worked, and she has stayed in the building since; she bought a two-bedroom there for $3.3 million in July. In the years that Ms. Benda has lived in the Financial District at the southern tip of Manhattan, the neighborhood has gotten better, she said, with new restaurants and livelier weekends. When she moved there, construction was in the early stages at the World Trade Center site. On the East River, the South Street Seaport’s Pier 17 attracted plenty of tourists but was less successful in drawing local residents. The area was, however, relatively inexpensive. Apartments could be had then for less than $1,000 per square foot, said Tara King-Brown, an agent with Corcoran. Now, they go for about $1,400 per square foot, she said, and up to about $2,000. After Ms. Benda, a stay-at-home mother, moved into the neighborhood, it took a few years, but the Financial District finally felt like home, she said. Then Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012.
