Greenwich Village remains one of New York City’s most coveted addresses, celebrated for its walkable, pre-automobile street grid, ornate architecture, and deep cultural history that has shaped not only the city but the world. The Greenwich Village Historic District, spanning 90 blocks and safeguarding more than 2,400 of some of the city’s oldest buildings, sprawls in several extensions from University Place to Greenwich Street, south of 14th Street. As everyone knows, its prestige comes at a price, as real estate here ranks among the most expensive urban property on the planet.
