Battery Park City is bounded on the east by [[West Street (Manhattan)|West Street]], which separates the area from the [[Financial District, Manhattan|Financial District]] of [[Lower Manhattan]]. To the west, north, and south, the area is surrounded by the [[Hudson River]].<ref name="surprisingly" />

The development consists of roughly five major sections. Traveling north to south, the first neighborhood has high-rise residential buildings, the [[Stuyvesant High School]], a [[Regal Entertainment Group]] movie theater, and the [[#Library|Battery Park City branch]] of the [[New York Public Library]].<ref name="great" /> It is also the site of the 463-suite Conrad New York luxury hotel, which has a ballroom and a conference center.<ref>[http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-neighborhood-2010-8 There Goes The Neighborhood: Goldman Sachs Accused Of Gentrifying Block Around Its HQ] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141117162934/http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-neighborhood-2010-8 |date=November 17, 2014 }}.

Former undeveloped lots in the area have been developed into high-rise buildings; for example, [[Goldman Sachs]] built a new headquarters at [[200 West Street]].

Nearby is [[#Brookfield Place|Brookfield Place]], a complex of several commercial buildings formerly known as the World Financial Center.

Current residential neighborhoods of Battery Park City are divided into northern and southern sections, separated by Brookfield Place. The northern section consists entirely of large, 20–45-story buildings, all various shades of orange brick. The southern section, extending down from the Winter Garden, which is located in Brookfield Place, contains residential apartment buildings such as Gateway Plaza and the Rector Place apartment buildings. In this section lies the majority of Battery Park City's residential areas, in three sections: Gateway Plaza, a high-rise building complex; the "Rector Place Residential Neighborhood"; and the" Battery Place Residential Neighborhood". These subsections contain most of the area's residential buildings, along with [[park]] space, [[supermarket]]s, [[restaurant]]s, and [[movie theater]]s. Construction of residential buildings began north of the World Financial Center in the late 1990s, and completion of the final lots took place in early 2011. Additionally, a park restoration was completed in 2013.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.cultivatingculture.com/2013/04/10/battery-park-city-authority-completes-field-restoration/| title = Battery Park City Authority Completes Field Restoration - Cultivating Culture| date = April 10, 2013| access-date = December 2, 2014| archive-date = June 26, 2015| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150626110714/http://www.cultivatingculture.com/2013/04/10/battery-park-city-authority-completes-field-restoration/| url-status = live}}</ref>
