Clinton, which stretches from 42nd to59th StreetbetweenEighth Avenueand theHudson River, has come a long way since it was known as Hell’s Kitchen. Once known for seediness and gang violence (as depicted inWest SideStory), the neighborhood began gentrifying in the ‘80s, and now is home to a lively mix of actors, young professionals and families. Despite its new found gentility, though,Clintonstill retains a lot of its old school charm.

Housing : With lots of 4-6 story walk-ups, as well as some new luxury doormen buildings and brownstones, Clinton has a diverse mix of housing. The walk-ups are small and cheap, still one of the best bargains for those on a budget.

Restaurants :Ninth Avenue is lined with great restaurants.

Arts/Entertainment : Nestled between the theaters of Broadway to the east andLincolnCenter to the north, you’re never more than a few minutes away from plays, symphonies and Andrew Lloyd Webber extravaganzas. For nightlife, the bars ofClinton are a dive connoisseur’s dream and sleek dance clubs.

Subways : A, C, E, 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, N, Q, R, S

Great Outdoors : Aside from being a cool place just to walk around in, Clinton is bordered on its western edge by Hudson River Park, a narrow greenway that attracts joggers, walkers and work-dodgers year-round. And if you live in the northern reaches of Clinton, you’re steps from Central Park.

The Future : Increased commercial activity (including a proposed sports stadium on the west side) should increase property values and further gentrify the character of the neighborhood
