A progressive and artistic community in Lower Manhattan
Greenwich Village was once the bedrock of American progressivism thanks to its bohemian, artistic residents. With its legacy of LGBTQ pride and penchant for preservation, Greenwich Village maintains its ahead-of-the-curve appeal to Manhattanites. “There are plenty of affluent and prestigious business people, artists, writers, professors, actors,” says Laurie Karpowich, a Greenwich Village resident of 28 years and a licensed real estate salesperson with Compass. “But it’s a very laid-back environment. People aren’t walking around in fancy outfits or hopping into chauffeured cars, although they may be mega-wealthy.” Pricey real estate has scrubbed some of the countercultural edge, but the community is still socially active and artistic, partly due to New York University’s sprawling presence.
Washington Square North is steeped in history and eye-catching architecture.
Greenwich Village is electric with constant movement wherever you look.

Highly-rated restaurants and popular bars abound
Locals are within walking distance of old and new restaurants spanning various cuisines. For casual outings, Mamoun's specializes in Middle Eastern falafel and Village Taverna serves authentic Greek fare. Upscale eateries include Il Cantinori, an Italian staple, and Minetta Tavern, a storied French bistro. Bleeker Street has a high concentration of bars, including The Red Lion, a neighborhood mainstay with affordable drafts, live music and dancing. The Village is also a hot spot for boutique shopping: The Strand Bookstore is popular with locals, while people flock to Beacon’s Closet and Looks Vintage for a fresh rotation of bargain finds.
Greenwich Village is perfect for those who enjoy socializing at the local bars and restaurants.

Historical homes come with high price tags
“Greenwich Village is a huge, dense area of residential-only space, compared to many other areas that are a mix of commercial and residential,” Karpowich says “Even Fifth Avenue and University Place are residential.” Prewar brick or brownstone rowhouses denote the area’s charming style. Though these buildings were once run-down and occupied by low-income artists, today’s homebuyers expect to pay premium prices. Town houses typically range between $13 million to $20 million but can go for more. In established co-ops, studio and one-bedroom units ask $450,000 to $2.5 million, while two-bedrooms range from $1.3 million to $4 million. Larger co-op residences in full-service buildings sell for as high as $10 million. A handful of new, luxury condos are available in the north, a historically upscale area between Washington Square Park and Union Square. Here, studio and one-bedroom condos start at $735,000, two-bedrooms start at $2.3 million, and large units fetch between $5 and $16 million.

Two major city parks draw crowds
Whether you’re a native New Yorker or a newcomer to the city, you’ve likely seen Washington Square Park, if only through your television. The iconic Washington Square Arch towers over the park’s north end, and the massive fountain anchors the park’s center. Always active, the park draws an eclectic bunch of dancers, musicians, chess players, college students, children, sun-bathers and people-watchers. At the neighborhood's north end, Union Square offers paved paths and a surplus of street vendors, plus several subway stations.

The thing I loved the most about the Village is that you get a neighborhood that has almost everything you need, from bars to 24h drugstores, and is also very residential.

As always, any area in New York can be dangerous at times. But in my opinion, the Village is one of the safest communities.
