West Village

Welcome to the West Village


A culturally rich community, bursting with gastropubs, and understated opulence.

Lined with picturesque blocks reminiscent of a scrapbook full of vintage photographs, the West Village is a charming, quiet community along the Hudson. With an array of multi-colored townhomes, majestic brownstones, and post-war walkups, the West Village is the definition of the picture-perfect New York City neighborhood.

This quiet community is minutes away from the central hubs of Manhattan but feels like another country altogether — from decadent and quirky restaurants to luxurious shops, the West Village has it all. Stylish cafes are found around every corner and families, young professionals, and retirees enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and historic charm of the West Village.
