West Village New York real estate has always held firm.

The West Village is a charming, trendy, and multi-cultural neighborhood in New York City with interesting real estate options.  West Village real estate is the most desirable down-town luxury real estate.

Narrow, cozy and crooked streets and 19th Century brownstones retain the colonial feel of the West Village. Once the undoubted bohemian center of New York, Greenwich Village rents have pushed some of the counter-culture to the more affordable East Village. However, 40,000 NYU students and a rich history has maintained a youthful, artistic culture, albeit at a much higher price.

Recently high-rise luxury real estate has popped up making the neighborhood sought-after by the elite.  Also along the Hudson River, new luxury residential buildings offer splendid views of the river as well as the city.

During the day, Greenwich Village's main streets buzz with craft shops, coffee shops, art galleries, and theaters. At night residents flood the bars, jazz clubs, comedy houses and cafés. Cooper Union and Bleeker Street are two of the trendiest areas for nighttime action.

Residents of the West Village consist of a mix of bohemian college types and gentrified residents of the quiet and expensive area West of 6th Avenue. As expected, Greenwich Village also boasts a large gay community.
