A Tour of The High Line Section 2

This week the much anticipated Section 2 of the High Line opened. On Friday, I had a chance to walk the length, enjoy the newest section of the promenade and see what is happening with the real estate in the area.  There is definitely more of an industrial feel to the westerly neighborhoods.  Up close, many of the buildings are so close it is them that offer a backdrop of activity to those on the High Line instead.

Not the 'Doink Doink', the 'Thu-thunk thu-thunk'

Several months back, I came home to a ConEd emergency crew working on my street. It turned out to be a gas leak that required jackhammering on the street in front of us for days to fix the leak.

Over the past two months, we heard 'thu-thunk thu-thunk' all night as cars drove over the steel plates covering the in-ground work site. Last week, I noticed fewer plates on the ground.









Today, I peered out my window and noticed that *all* the plates were gone. Now, I will need to get used to not hearing the noise. It made me think about my own assumed requirement of a garden-facing bedroom for quiet sleeping. I want to share that tip for your own search.

Real Estate Tip: When considering a move to a new home, pay attention to your routines. This will help to prioritize your requirements for features. For example, if you like to finish up a meal while guests are present, you may prefer an open concept floor plan.
