One of the most coveted places to live, play and people-watch in Manhattan, the popular West Village is intimate, quaint, and synonymous with New York’s bohemian culture. Even the many chic shops, restaurants and nightspots that delight residents do not detract from the inherent appeal of this neighborhood which is still defined by its deep artistic roots.
The West Village’s small-town charm lies in its tree-lined cobblestone streets, brownstones, townhouses and prewar buildings. Defined as the extension of Greenwich Village west of Seventh Avenue, the West Village affords a more casual, tranquil approach to city living. Residents have access to trendy dining spots, abundant shops and antique stores, diverse arts and nightlife, the beauty of outdoors at nearby Hudson River Park, and convenient transportation to virtually anywhere in town.
