Washington Square Village, Housing estate near Washington Square Park, Manhattan, US

Washington Square Village contains two parallel residential towers with colored glazed bricks and terraces stretching across multiple blocks in Greenwich Village.

New York University purchased the residential complex in 1964 for 25 million dollars after the original developers encountered financial difficulties during construction.

The residential complex appears in the television series Friends as the residence of the character Ross Geller during the initial seasons.

The buildings offer 1,292 apartments serving as housing for New York University faculty members, graduate students, and local Manhattan residents.

The garden between the buildings follows the original design by landscape architect Hideo Sasaki, incorporating specific plant selections and maintenance requirements.
