East, West, and Greenwich Villages

Tourists and locals agree that “The Villages” are among the most desirable places to live, work, and play in the city.

You can easily explore this 10-acre area in all its glory with full access to the M1, M11, M20, M55, and M8 buses, as well as the Hudson and PATH train systems. Subway lines 1, B, F, and M all serve The Villages as well. If you live to ride, cycling culture is alive and well here too.

The Villages embody the best of New York City, with charming tree-lined streets, eclectic shops, and diverse restaurants. The neighborhood has over 1,000 buildings from the pre-Civil War era, including original row houses and gorgeous architecture.

DiningThis neighborhood is notorious for great eats in every category. If you live for the best, you’ll be in the right place. Greenwich Village’s storied Italian-American history lives on today in the neighborhood’s abundance of Italian eateries.
