New York Rentals – Greenwich Village
The elegant 19th-century row houses, mid-rises and walk-ups that define the architecture of Greenwich Village have earned the neighborhood a designation as a New York City Historic District. But NYC dwellers know that Greenwich Village's historic buildings are just part of what makes this iconic Manhattan neighborhood one of the most vital and vibrant places to live in Manhattan.
Greenwich Village has been the center of New York's art and culture scene from decades. New York artists as Eugene O'Neill, Lenny Bruce, Bob Dylan, Isadora Duncan and Dylan Thomas have their roots in Greenwich Village and while the Village has lost some of its beatnik edge in recent decades, the neighborhood is still home to numerous jazz clubs, live music venues, art house movie theaters, record stores, funky little joints of all kinds, coffee shops and one-of-a-kind restaurants. All those cultural destinations (and all that New York history) have ensured that Greenwich Village has remained a desirable residential neighborhood, while a host of new construction rental buildings have helped make the Village a great place to live.
The classic, old-fashioned elegance of a Greenwich Village rental apartment is easy to find in the apartments for rent at 1 Bank Street or the lovely pre-war rental apartments on offer at 1 Christopher Street. The dazzling luxury rentals at 1 Union Square South, on the other hand, offer a very different experience thanks to the building's suite of very contemporary amenities and rental residences. It's a testament to Greenwich Village's enduring cool and eclecticism that these Greenwich Village rental listings -- which initially seem to have little in common beyond being apartments for rent in Greenwich Village -- both fit within the neighborhood.

Union Square South doesn't have the instant name recognition of such Manhattan mega-addresses as Broadway or Fifth Avenue, but it's a quintessentially New York address just steps from the best of downtown Manhattan living. With the energy of Greenwich Village to the south, the gracious quiet of Gramercy and Flatiron to the north, and Union Square Park right across the street, 1 Union Square South offers a commanding view of the park and as central a Greenwich Village location as can be imagined. In short, 1 Union Square South is one of the finest rental listings in Greenwich Village even before the building's luxurious apartments for rent and plentiful amenities enter the equation.
