Arguably the cultural pulse of NYC, Greenwich Village is idyllically picturesque with its treelined streets cloaked by townhomes and a strong variety of pre-war and mid-rise apartment buildings. Anchored by Washington Square Park and parts of NYU’s campus, the Village offers New Yorkers a centrally located option, easily accessible to almost anywhere else in the City via foot or subway. The residents have evolved over the years into a diversity of artists, business types, and young independent minds, smitten with the folklore and architectural bones of yesteryear. New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission continues to preserve much of the area’s historic facades and overall aesthetic.
