ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
What to know about the West Village.
Smaller buildings
Much of the housing is in smaller buildings rather than large towers, so layouts, services and condition vary from one listing to the next.
Close to other areas
Greenwich Village, Chelsea and the Meatpacking District are all nearby, so it is easy to compare them on the same trip.
Popular with renters
Well-priced apartments in popular areas can move quickly, so having your documents ready before you tour helps.
WHAT TO CHECK
The building matters as much as the street.
In a live video tour we focus on the details that are easy to miss from a listing.
Homes and buildings
Walk-ups, small elevator buildings and some condos and co-ops. Rules and requirements differ by building.
- Floor and whether there is an elevator
- Laundry in the building
- Heating, light and street noise
- Application documents the building asks for
Getting around
Several subway lines serve the area, but the walk to the station depends on the block.
- Walking distance to the nearest station
- Transfers on your daily route
- Evening and weekend service
- Door-to-door time at your usual hours
