Although the name Wall Street is synonymous with business, power, wealth, and of course, the New York Stock Exchange, the area around it on the southern tip of Manhattan has plenty of residential options also - many replete with magnificent views of the downtown skyline towering over the water’s edge and of the Statue of Liberty beyond. Indeed, the tip of Manhattan was where the island's first European settlers lived: the name "Wall Street" derives from a wall that Dutch settlers built to keep out their British neighbors.
