Who would have thought a set of elevated industrial train tracks would one day transform into a public park that draws ever-increasing crowds, serves as a model for other cities, and acts as one of the city's most desirable backdrops? Nearly 10 years since the first section of the High Line opened to the public, its popularity shows no sign of slowing down.
That statement especially applies to the real estate sector. Following the rezoning of West Chelsea, developers are hard at work building around the High Line. Residents want to be near it and have expressed a willingness to pay for the privilege: A 2016 study showed that the median resale price around the High Line is more than 100 percent higher than the real estate value of an area even one block away. More recently, CityRealty's High Line index shows that median condo prices have increased by nearly 40 percent in the past five years alone.
In this article:
Acclaimed designers including, but not limited to, Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Cary Tamarkin, Isay Weinfeld, and Soo Chan have used the High Line as a frame for some of the city's most eye-catching buildings. Inside, they offer luxe amenities, open layouts, and expansive windows to make the most of the views. Here are some of the most amazing apartments overlooking the High Line.
