West Village Apartments and Rentals

Had William Webster been a New Yorker, the dictionary definition of "picturesque" would read: West Village. The West Villiage real estate market has become enshrined in the minds of New Yorkers as a small slice of bohemian paradise, urban charm, and simply put, among the most desirable places to live in New York.

Bordered by the Hudson River to its West, Houston Street to its South, 14th street on its North, and Sixth Avenue to its east, the West Villiage is conveniently located near a whole host of desirable neighborhoods, including SoHo, Chelsea, and the rather lively Meatpacking District, which boasts some of the world's best nightlife.

Similar to neighborhoods like Chelsea, the West Village real estate market is largely comprised of colonial era, gorgeous, high quality federalist row townhouses. However, many of the modern and more recently constructed homes are quite trendy and untraditional in their architecture.

Although the West Village has always had an artistic character among its residents, appealing to actors, musicians, and media folks alike, the redevelopment of the spectacular High Line park along the city's West side attaches West villages to the Chelsea art galleries, further cementing its artistic element.

Apart from the narrow, tree-lined, pedestrian friendly streets and unique wonders such as the High Line, it is the aesthetically detached, chilled out, bohemian nature of West Village and the overall West Village real estate market that cause so many to love this neighborhood and fantasize about living here.
