MapMap of Flatiron District

Location: The Flatiron District is located in south-central part Midtown Manhattan, often referred to as "Midtown South".

The northern and southern boundaries are a bit fuzzy - for the purposes of our classification, 34th street and 14th street, respectively.

The eastern border is Park Avenue (beyond which lie Gramercy Park and Kips Bay). The western border is Sixth Avenue (the Flatiron District's western neighbor is Chelsea).

Sub-divisions: Some people like to single out Little Korea, aka Koreatown (30th to 34th between Broadway and Fifth).

Also, the Union Square are is commonly referred to as a neighborhood in its own right.

Demographics: The district is popular with photographers who appreciate what the area's loft buildings can offer in terms of space and light, while not being as expensive as those of SoHo and TriBeCa. The newer "high-rise" apartment buildings attract professionals and the proximity of both SVA and NYU Medical School adds some student residents to the mix.

NAME

The Flatiron District (or simply "Flatiron") gets its name from one of the world's most famous (and arguably, one of the most beautiful) buildings, the Flatiron Building. Actually, it's more confusing than that, because the building is officially called the Fuller Building, yet its shape prompted a much more popular name. So, to summarize, the name of the district comes from the shape of one of its building.
