Open Houses: Village listings to see priced under $1.6 million

By CityRealty Staff | From Goldilocks Blocks Thursday, July 18, 2024

Gay Street, Greenwich Village

The Village is an area of Lower Manhattan encompassing some of New York City's most historic and highly coveted neighborhoods, including Greenwich Village, the West Village, NoHo, and the recently incorporated East Village. Known for its beautiful architecture, the area is particularly celebrated for its low-rise buildings and early 19th- and 20th-century townhouses and walk-ups.

The human scale, central location to the city’s commercial districts, and past affordability attracted artists, writers, musicians, and actors. Today, many of its buildings are preserved within historic districts designated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, established in 1962. Although the Village has not retained its affordability, it has evolved into a vibrant, mixed-use area renowned for shopping, dining, nightlife, cultural institutions, top schools, and a burgeoning tech workforce.

Greenwich Village began as a rural, pastoral area to the north of the city in the 18th century when the city was confined to the southern tip of Manhattan Island. The West Village, typically defined as the area west of Sixth and Seventh Avenues, preserved its 18th-century street pattern when the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 ordained a street grid layout for the rest of the island. The neighborhood’s preserved narrow, winding streets add to its historic charm and character.

“This supremacy comes from the quality of its architecture, the nature of the artistic life within its boundaries, and the feeling of history that permeates its streets.” - Greenwich Village Historic District designation report

Aside from the genteel streetscapes, the Village's prime location is a leading reason for its desirability. Generally, the neighborhoods offer easy access to both Midtown and the Financial District, and it borders other pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods like Soho, Chelsea, Union Square, and Gramercy. Commuters benefit from proximity to several subway lines (including the L train to Brooklyn), PATH stops, numerous bus lines, and Citi Bike stations.

Some drawbacks commonly cited by locals include the influx of tourists and city residents seeking nightlife, making the neighborhood busier and noisier than they would like. Additionally, Greenwich Village is home to New York University, with over 51,000 students who often treat the neighborhood as their private campus and Washington Square Park as their quad. Even when school is not in session, the park hosts performances and protests that can be disruptive to residents.

While New York has become much more livable than in decades past, escalating prices have become the biggest drawback.

Another drawback is the high cost of property, driven by restrictions on new construction to preserve the area’s historic charm. Much of Greenwich Village and the West Village are protected within the Greenwich Village Historic District. NoHo and the East Village also have smaller historic districts, and strict zoning regulations protect many un-landmarked blocks in between. Consequently, modern apartment buildings are less common, and units with high-end finishes and amenities command a premium. As in several successful New York neighborhoods, high demand has led to the displacement of long-time residents and the closure of many unique boutiques, cafes, and hangouts.

Despite these challenges, the historic character and charming streets of the Village continue to attract celebrities, luminaries, and affluent individuals. According to CityRealty data, the West Village, NoHo, and Greenwich Village were the three most expensive neighborhoods to buy a condo in Q2 2024, with average prices exceeding $2,300 per square foot. The East Village, absorbed into the Village nomenclature in recent decades and historically considered part of the Lower East Side, remains the most affordable of the Village neighborhoods, particularly in Alphabet City, where subway access is limited. In Q2 2024, the average price per square foot of a closed condo in the East Village was $1,493.

Below, we present a selection of Village listings with upcoming open houses, all priced under $1.6 million.
