West Village

Crooked streets, brownstone stoops, and a corner café on every block.

The vibe

Village charm that never goes out of style. Tree-lined blocks that ignore the grid, and a neighborhood that still feels like a neighborhood.

Who it suits

People who want to walk everywhere and know their barista by name.

Good to know

• — Mostly prewar walk-ups and townhouses
• — Strong mix of young professionals and long-time residents
