Location: Midtown Manhattan. Between 34th and 42th streets, west of Fifth Avenue.
Sub-divisions: Recent events surrounding redevelopment of Hudson Yards (between
30th and 33th streets west of 10th avenue) suggest a possible
sub-neighborhood developing there.
Character: A large proportion of buildings in the Garment District is commerical and light industrial. The area is home to one of the biggest department stores in the country (Macy's), a gigantic sound and video professional store (B&H), General
Post Office, not to mention humongous Jacob K. Javits Convention Center,
Penn Station, and Madison Square Garden Center.
Some loft conversions exist and the situation is sure to change with the
redevelopment of Hudson Yards (the project envisaging 5,000+ apartments is on the drawing board at the time of this writing in 2008).
The Garment District is known as a center of fashion and design in the U.S.
