New neighborhood, new you, right? Well, it’s certainly true if you plan on moving to NoMad. Short for “North of Madison Square Park,” this rebranded neck of the downtown Manhattan woods is a new spot that’s staking its claim on an up-and-coming identity for the area. It balances the fast-paced work day (and into the night) with more relaxed weekends, tipping the scales in favor of young families who want to enjoy a little bit of everything the city has to offer. If you’re on the hunt for luxury condos, on-trend lounges and bars, and chill vibes to end your “work hard” ethic, this is the part of NYC for you.

Our Top NoMad Moving Tips
Contained within the streets between the Empire State and Flatiron buildings, NoMad stretches from 30th Street to about 23rd Street from north to south. East to west, you’re looking at Lexington Ave to about 6th Avenue. Looking at the map in a clockwise fashion, NoMad is surrounded by Midtown South, Rose Hill, Flatiron District, and Chelsea.
Now that you know about the bounds and what surrounds the neighborhood, it’s good to take some time to better know your new home. We’ve got some key details to share about NoMad for new residents:
- Cost of living. To live in this desirable neighborhood, you’ll have to pay a pretty penny. In terms of where you might live, you may choose from high-rise luxury apartment buildings, condos, co-ops and some pre-war and brownstone walk-ups, which tend to be a little less expensive. If you’re hoping to own one of these spaces, you may be looking among listings with a median price of $2.5 million (that’s about $2.1k per square foot). Renting downtown is also at a premium; a one-bedroom NoMad apartment will run you somewhere in the ballpark of $4,850 to just over $8,000. Even with that said, the neighborhood reports low vacancy rates. So even if the price is right for you, there may not be a space to call your own available. Make sure to keep refreshing those listings!
- Public transit. There may be cheaper places to call home elsewhere in the city and even in the borough, but what will be hard to beat is how centrally located this part of Manhattan is. You’ll be able to choose from the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s (MTA) 4, 6, N, R, F, and M trains. Having access to this many subway lines is a luxury in and of itself, making your ability to get around no sweat. If you’re not already familiar with the subway and public transit system, it’ll take you about about 22 minutes to get to Columbus Circle (at the southwest corner of Central Park), about 15 minutes to get to Grand Central, and if you’re headed to New Jersey, it’s about 30 minutes by public transit from NoMad. And, at $2.75 per one-way ride, you’ll be saving yourself a few pennies while commuting at least!
- Eating like a NoMad resident. You won’t have to look far to find great eats in the neighborhood, from fine dining to a casual meal. For starters, if you’re hoping to impress your dinner date, you may make time to pencil in an evening repast at Scarpetta for a special meal. You could also flatter your taste buds with flavor and kindness at Eleven Madison Park for a plant-based tasting menu. The dollars you spend towards a meal in the restaurant overlooking Madison Square Park goes to the Eleven Madison Park Truck, which serves meals to New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. To have options from burgers to pasta, L’Adresse may fit the bill. However, if only sushi will satisfy, Sushi Muse is a must stop for snow crab rolls and miso soup. Perhaps you’re on the hunt for a New York classic. If so, then heading to the original Shake Shack location within Madison Square Park is an al fresco dining situation you just can’t miss (who can resist those crinkle-cut fries?). There’s delicious food a-plenty in NoMad and you’ll soon find what makes the cut for your plate.
- No(t)Mad at the surroundings. Of course, we’d be remiss not to mention one of the best features of NoMad: Madison Square Park. Within its six acres, you’ll enjoy many neighborhood events among lush green lawns, a dog run, and even a playground. If you’d like to stroll a bit further, NoMad is just a short walk away from both the East and West River Greenway for more outdoor recreation opportunities. If the interior is much more your domain, then you’re in for a treat. NoMad is home to the New York Design Center, which boasts 100 different showrooms for various types of furniture among 16 floors. This is the place to find cutting-edge interior design styles you just won’t find anywhere else. Another spot to spend an afternoon indoors in NoMad is the National Museum of Mathematics. A visit there will help you (and maybe your little ones) grow an appreciation for the patterns, structures, and algorithms that surround our lives. Really, there’s something for everyone in this part of the city.
