The Lower West Side

Unlike the Upper East Side, the Lower East Side and the Upper West Side, the Lower West Side is much more isolated and cut off from the city, and while living costs on the Lower West Side tend to be higher than average, it is simply due to the vast sizes of land available for purchase.

The Lower West Side is also known to be country land, though much like the Upper West Side, also sits along the coast. Surrounded and practically covered by thick forests and woodlands, it is the ideal place for farmers to set up crops and farmhouses as many often do. These farms are either privately owned (by small or larger families) or publicly owned, offering jobs during harvesting season to many experienced farmers.

The Lower West Side is also ideal for anyone looking to live close to the city, but be out of range enough to live quietly in seclusion. While many chose the Lower West Side to set up luxuriously large houses, mansions and even a few businesses once the trees are cut down and the land is plowed, visitors are more likely to see smaller houses or large farm houses while exploring the Lower West Side.

Also found on the Lower West Side is a small, exclusive community of Native American men, their children and their spouses. This piece of land is privately owned and cut off from the rest of the Lower West Side, cleverly dubbed the sanctuary.
