A desirable area rich in history and charm
The West Village stands apart from the rest of Manhattan in myriad ways. Its picturesque, off-kilter streets and disorienting lack of avenues create an intimate, suburban feel, unlike the stark grid of city streets. Many of the prewar townhouses are, in fact, pre-Civil War. Iconic institutions mark historic events, as the Stonewall Inn does for LGBTQ+ rights. A roster of famous artists has called the neighborhood home, and more than a few restaurants and venues are nearing a century of service. Since most of the West Village is landmarked, new developments are few and far between, driving housing prices to an exorbitant number. Basically, the neighborhood's larger-than-life reputation outsizes its quaint, irregular blocks.
Rows of red brick townhouses are commonly seen throughout West Village's smaller streets.
The National Historic Landmark, The Stonewall Inn served as a pedestal for gay rights in 1969.

Limited inventory makes for a competitive market
The rule of supply and demand is unmistakable in the West Village. An intentional lack of development has preserved the neighborhood’s charm: The vast majority of buildings are prewar, brick or brownstone walk-ups. “With so much landmarking, the West Village looks the same today as it did when I moved to the city over 30 years ago,” says Glenn Norrgard, a senior global real estate broker at Sotheby’s. “It’s nice to live in an urban neighborhood that’s not in a canyon of high-rises.” This nostalgic look, coupled with scarce inventory, has made the West Village a coveted area. Studio and one-bedroom co-ops range from $475,000 to $1.7 million, whereas larger co-op units list between $1.1 million and $6 million. An entire townhouse costs anywhere from $7 million to $27 million. “You can find the area’s new development along the West Side Highway,” says Laurie Karpowich, a long-term New Yorker and licensed real estate salesperson with Compass. In these luxe, white-glove condos, one-bedroom units list between $1.5 million and $2.5 million, two-bedroom units between $2.7 million and $9 million, and larger units between $7.4 million and $25 million.
Pre-war apartment buildings stand as a testament to the neighborhood's rich history.

Ample green space in various settings
Residents can walk to the bustling Washington Square Park or scenic Hudson River Park. “Washington Square Park is meant for people watching, gathering and entertainment,” says Karpowich. Hudson River Park, on the other hand, is a quiet waterfront escape spanning 4 miles of Manhattan’s west side. Locals love the immaculate landscaping, converted piers, strips of lawn, playgrounds and busy bike path. Several pocket parks add greenery to the neighborhood’s winding streets. Two attractions sit at the West Village-Meatpacking District border: The High Line, with an entrance on Gansevoort and Washington Streets, and the Whitney, known for its collection of modern and contemporary art.
Father Demo Square Park Fountain is a gorgeous park to visit while you are at West Village.
The Whitney is one of West Village's gems, boasting over collections from 3,800 artists today.

High-end dining, busy bars and boutique shops
Brunch and dinner reservations in the West Village are a hot commodity. Longheld favorites like Sevilla and Bar Pitti commingle with trendy city bistros like Buvette, Via Carota and Fairfax. All-day cafes, like Butcher’s Daughter and Cafe Panino Mucho Giusto, offer vegan bites and oat milk lattes. Locals and tourists visit John’s of Bleecker Street and Joe’s for New York-style pizza or the original Magnolia Bakery for their famous banana pudding. Nightlife in the Village is vibrant yet eclectic, with sceney wine bars, jazz clubs, gay bars, dives and sports bars. Niche, mom-and-pop shops range from Paquita for tea and The Old Yew for plants to John Derian for home goods and Three Lives & Company for books.
Bar Pitti is an Italian trattoria in West Village known for it's great outdoor brunch.

Pedestrian-friendly and well-connected to public transit
“The West Village doesn’t have much thoroughfare and that’s partially why it’s quieter,” Karpowich says of the mainly pedestrian area. Still, residents with cars can quickly reach the West Side Highway. The neighborhood has plenty of transit options, including the A, C, E and B, D, F, M trains at West 4th Street and 14th Street stations, and the 1 and 2 trains at Christopher Street. There are also six bus lines and three stations for the New Jersey Path train.
West Village residents use the 1 train station at Christopher Street.
West Village commuters rely on West 4 Street for great convenience for getting around.
