This neighborhood encompasses the Lincoln Center campus as well as a plethora of famous restaurants and food stores.  This is a vibrant residential community at the heart, with commercial office buildings primarily in the southern part of the district.  The Columbus Circle neighborhood is described as having a southern border on West 50^th Street from the Hudson River to 6^th Avenue, up to 59^th Street and back to the River- including the area West of Central Park up to West 65^th Street.  It basically includes the entire area between Hell’s Kitchen and Lincoln Square.

The architectural style in the southern part of this neighborhood is a mix of old bulky structures and brand new skyscrapers.  Retail is a mix of old hangers on, and new upscale shops and restaurants.  This dichotomy will present itself throughout New York City and will change as neighborhoods gentrify.  The Columbus Circle neighborhood and the Upper West Side in general is home to some of the most expensive residential real estate in New York and is always in the top tourist attractions in Manhattan
