Neighborhood Description

LOCATION The neighborhood is bounded by Broadway on the east, the Hudson River on the west, Houston Street on the south, and 14th Street on the north. The neighborhoods surrounding it are the East Village to the east, SoHo to the south, and Chelsea to the north. The East Village, which was formerly known as the Bowery or considered a bona fide part of the Lower East Side, is sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as part of Greenwich Village, but it is actually its own neighborhood. This area directly east of Greenwich Village was named the East Village in the 1960s in order to capitalize on the cachet of Greenwich Village. Many New Yorkers argue that the East Village is still a subsection of the Lower East Side. Contrarily, the West Village is actually part of Greenwich Village; it is that part of the Village west of 6th Avenue. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER Greenwich Village is undoubtedly one of New York's best known neighborhoods. Its very mention evokes an assortment of familiar images -- a cultural underground of bohemians and beatniks; the stately world of Henry James' Washington Square; jazz clubs galore; tourists on Eight Avenue and Bleecker Streets, and of course, the booming art scene. The Greenwich Village area, the Manhattan neighborhood containing the subject property, is characterized by its eclectic identity. Approximately 61% of the almost 2,000 buildings in the area are residential; 19% are mixed-use (commercial/residential); 15% are commercial/retail; and 5% include schools, theaters, city property, and vacant land. The area contains an abundance of restaurants, theaters, clubs and shops, as well as some of New York's oldest and most charming residential blocks. In fact, many of the area's quiet, narrow streets -- virtually unchanged since the early 1800s -- have a refreshing smallness of scale. The streets themselves are a crazy quilt of diagonals and curves that mostly pre-date the rigid grid pattern of the north. Approximately 70-80% of the area is in the Greenwich Village Historic Preservation District. The historic Washington Square Park is the center and heart of the neighborhood, but the Village has several other, smaller parks: Father Fagan, Minetta Triangle, Petrosino Square, Little Red Square, and Time Landscape. There are also city playgrounds, including Desalvio, Minetta, Thompson Street, Bleecker Street, Downing Street, Mercer Street, and William Passannante Ballfield. Perhaps the most famous, though, is "The Cage", officially known as the West 4th Street Courts. Sitting on top of the West Fourth StreetWashington Square subway station at Sixth Avenue, the courts are easily accessible to basketball and American handball players from all over New York. The Cage has become one of the most important tournament sites for the city-wide "Streetball" amateur basketball tournament.

Narrow Christopher Street is another lively strip, because it is loaded with genuine Village character. Wandering west of Seventh Avenue and along Hudson Street, takes you to shops like House of Cards and Curiosities, the Village's own funky take on an old-fashioned nickel-anddime which are tucked among the brownstones

CULTURAL AMENITIES The Village also has a bustling performing arts scene. It is home to many Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway theaters; for instance, Blue Man Group has taken up residence in the Astor Place Theater. The Village Vanguard hosts some of the biggest names in jazz on a regular basis. Other music clubs include The Bitter End, and Lion's Den. The village also has its own orchestra aptly named the Greenwich Village Orchestra. Comedy clubs dot the Village as well, including The Boston and Comedy Cellar, where many American stand-up comedians got their start. The architecture surrounding the subject property is extremely unique. Urbanized in the 1820's Greenwich Village is on of New York City's oldest and most diverse residential neighborhoods. Streets in the village of Greenwich were initially laid out in the late 18th century. In the 1820's, a number of Federal-style row houses were erected, either of brick or of wood with brick facades. Greek Revival row houses with austere entrances frame by heavy stone can be found throughout the district as well. SCHOOLS Greenwich Village includes the primary campus for New York University (NYU), The New School, and Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Cooper Union is also located in Greenwich Village, near Lafayette and Bleecker. Located in Community District 2, there are a variety of public and private school options for elementary to high school students. Public school options include PS 003 Charrette School and PS 041 Greenwich Village for elementary schools. Public high schools include The Legacy School at 33 West 13th Street and City as ASchool at 16 Clarkson Street. Private school options for elementary students include City & Country School at 146 West 13th Street, Little Red School House at 196 Bleecker Street, Our Lady of Pompeii at 240 Bleecker Street, and St. Lukes School at 487 Hudson Street. The Little Red School House also offers private education for Upper School. CONCLUSION The neighborhood is a gold mine of social and cultural history. But whether one comes to savor the architecture, immerse oneself in its history, enjoy the nightlife, restaurants and shops, or just take a lazy stroll through this peaceful downtown enclave, the Village offers a multitude of pleasures. Few other micro-markets in Manhattan enjoys the charm and convenience that Greenwich Village does, giving it a competitive advantage in its ability to attract a wide variety of market participants. Bountiful retail options and a plethora of exciting restaurants are all immediately accessible. For interested investors, the subject property is amidst a constantly evolving community and vibrant nightlife which are inviting attributes to the neighborhood.
