Century Towers is a pet-friendly community, welcoming furry companions with approval from the building management. This policy adds to the building's appeal for animal lovers seeking a home in the heart of Manhattan.
A vibrant enclave steeped in history and culture
Century Towers is situated in the West Village, one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods. Known for its picturesque streets, historic brownstones, and bohemian spirit, the area offers a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary urban living.
The neighborhood is a food lover's paradise, with an array of acclaimed restaurants within walking distance. Residents can enjoy innovative cuisine at Michelin-starred establishments like Blue Hill or savor classic New York pizza at Joe's Pizza. For those who prefer to cook at home, the nearby Citarella Gourmet Market offers a selection of high-quality ingredients and prepared foods.
Cultural attractions abound in the vicinity. The Whitney Museum of American Art, located in the nearby Meatpacking District, showcases an impressive collection of contemporary and 20th-century American art. The area is also known for its vibrant arts scene, with numerous galleries and performance spaces dotting the neighborhood.
Green spaces are plentiful, providing respite from the urban hustle. Washington Square Park, with its iconic arch and lively atmosphere, is a short walk away. The High Line, an elevated linear park built on a former New York Central Railroad spur, offers a unique urban oasis with gardens, art installations, and stunning views of the city.
Shopping options range from high-end boutiques to quirky independent stores. The nearby Bleecker Street is lined with designer shops and vintage clothing stores, while the West Village outpost of Nordstrom Local provides a curated retail experience.
For everyday conveniences, residents have easy access to a Whole Foods Market and a variety of local grocers and pharmacies. The neighborhood also boasts excellent schools, including the highly-rated P.S. 41 Greenwich Village Elementary School and the Clinton School, which serves middle and high school students.
Unparalleled connectivity in the heart of Manhattan
Century Towers benefits from its prime location at the nexus of multiple transportation options, making it easy for residents to navigate the city and beyond. The building's proximity to several subway lines provides quick access to various parts of Manhattan and outer boroughs.

For those commuting to New Jersey, the 14th Street PATH station is within a five-minute walk, offering service to Hoboken and Jersey City. This connection is particularly valuable for professionals working in the financial district on either side of the Hudson River.
While the neighborhood's high walkability score means that many daily errands can be accomplished on foot, Century Towers' on-site parking garage provides a convenient option for car owners. This amenity is especially valuable given the scarcity of parking in the area.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
