Historic charm and downtown chic meet in the West Village, the birthplace of New York cool. West Village apartment living is known for its tree-lined cobblestone streets that feel a world away from the bustle of the rest of The City. The West Village offers something for everyone, from the hotspots of the Meatpacking District, to the fashionable boutiques of Bleecker Street, to the tranquil beauty of the Hudson River waterfront.
