West Village, Residential neighborhood in Manhattan, United States
The West Village features tree-lined streets, historic brownstones, and curvy paths that deviate from Manhattan's standard grid street layout pattern.
The area transformed into a cultural center during the early 1900s, with writers and artists establishing residences in the growing number of bookstores and cafes.
The Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street marks a pivotal location in LGBTQ+ rights history, leading to the neighborhood's status as a gay village.
The neighborhood connects to multiple subway lines, offering transit times of 23 minutes to Columbus Circle and 24 minutes to both Grand Central and Wall Street.
The district maintains strict architectural preservation rules across fifty blocks, preventing modifications to the nineteenth-century building facades and streetscapes.
