The Timeless Appeal of Greenwich Village
Welcome to Greenwich Village, one of the oldest and most fashionable neighborhoods nestled in the heart of Manhattan. Tour the streets and you’ll find The Village home to a spirit and a character of old New York that no single area can provide—a striking counterpoint to the sleek glass and concrete skyscrapers that dominate the city’s skyline.
From its origins in the 17th century, The Village has preserved its distinctive character and it remains a coveted residential area for two primary reasons: 1. Its asymmetric street layout, disrupts the north-south avenues of traffic, shielding it from extensive commercial development. 2. Generations of early Village families have maintained a firm grip on their homes, creating a unique residential stronghold.
The Village is New York City on a “human scale.”
Admire the 19th-century brownstones and the vibrant streetscapes adorned with rows of trees and charming cafes. Here, the atmosphere is warmer, more inviting, more accessible, and more livable than anywhere else in Manhattan.
Today, Greenwich Village is a melting pot of artists, professionals, and families. Washington Square Park, with its iconic central fountain and verdant pathways, is a focal point of community life. The area pulses with the arts, housing theaters, galleries, and music venues once home to cultural luminaries like Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg.
With its rich tapestry of history, culture, and creativity, Greenwich Village continues to be Manhattan’s gem.
Your home is ideally situated on what is considered part of Manhattan’s “Gold Coast,” surrounded by some of the city’s finest dining establishments. It’s also close to the Meatpacking District, Washington Square Park, Union Square, and the High Line. Convenient access to the B/D/F/M, L, 1/2/3, A/C/E, and PATH trains is just a few blocks away, placing the best of New York City at your doorstep.
