Charm
The West Village appears to have been plucked out of an older, cozier New York City. Whether it's the tree-lined cobblestone streets, rows of beautiful brownstones, quaint shops, alluring bakeries, or the policemen on horseback, it's no wonder. |

Schools
It's no secret that the New York City school scene is cutthroat to get your child into. So it's quite a luxury for West Village residents to have access to some of the city's premier public schools (PS3 and PS41) . In addition, the neighborhood is also home to some of the best private schools (eg. The Little Red Schoolhouse), and a walk from others. |
Parks & Playgrounds
Run, bike ride, skate, or sit and sun at one of the many parks along the Hudson river, tuck away into the secret garden at St. Luke in the Fields, bring your children to the Bleecker Street Playground, or stroll along the High Line to Little Island. In this neighborhood, there are tons of places to go to forget the city, relax and have fun. |

Shopping
James Perse, Intermix, Arteryx, and so much more. Bleecker and the surrounding streets are the home to both classic brands and today's trendiest pop-ups. Be sure to visit the remarkable Three Lives & Company bookstore just steps away. |
History
Home to the Beat movement, secret access to the Underground Railroad, performances by jazz greats at The Village Vanguard, the beginning of the gay and lesbian rights movement at the Stonewall Inn, and so much more steep this neighborhood in history. And its landmarked status ensures that the signs remain everywhere. |
