Greenwich Village apartments are some of the most desirable places to live in all of New York City. If you’re new to Greenwich Village, and you’re walking along admiring its townhouses and co-ops, the West Fourth Street crosses West Tenth Street might draw your attention: street courts (handball & basketball), Off & Off-Off Broadway theaters, many shops, restaurants, and bars. Washington Square Park is the heart of Central Greenwich Village. The north side of the park is lined with landmark townhouses. Lower Fifth Avenue is a strip known as “The Gold Coast,” home to magnificent prewar co-ops with many bedrooms, grand lobbies, high ceilings, and often doormen in livery.Home to New York University (NYU) and its 50,000 students, Greenwich Village has historically nurtured writers and artist.

The area’s rich history, beautiful streets and high number of celebrity residents make it a desired place to set up camp, and its parks, playgrounds and culture make it an enjoyable place to raise a family. Real estate prices in Greenwich Village are generally higher than other neighborhoods, especially near Washington Square Park, Union Square and other prime sections. Although buildings tend to be much shorter than the high rises of neighboring Midtown, apartment buildings are still an option, along with traditional brownstones and row houses. Bleecker Street is one of the most popular hangouts where students and adults come to eat, drink and have fun.
