About West Village
The West Village, as covered here, runs west of Sixth Avenue from 14th Street down to Houston Street, out to the Hudson River. It includes the Meatpacking District at its northwest corner.
Much of the neighborhood was laid out before the Manhattan street grid of 1811, which is why streets here run at angles and West 4th Street crosses West 10th, 11th and 12th Streets. About three-quarters of its tax lots sit inside the Greenwich Village Historic District, designated in 1969 and one of the city’s largest.
The housing stock is older and lower-rise than most of Manhattan. Federal-style and Greek Revival row houses, many from the 1820s to the 1850s, sit alongside five- and six-story walk-ups and a smaller number of pre-war and post-war elevator buildings. Along the waterfront and in the Meatpacking District, newer condominium buildings face Hudson River Park and the southern end of the High Line, near the Whitney Museum on Gansevoort Street.
Landmarks Preservation Commission historic districts in the neighborhood include the Greenwich Village Historic District, the Greenwich Village Historic District Extension II, the Gansevoort Market Historic District and the Greenwich Village Historic District Extension. Exterior changes to buildings inside a historic district need Commission approval, which is worth knowing before buying a townhouse or planning a renovation. Check any address on the LPC designations map.
