The West Village stretches between the Hudson River and Sixth Avenue and 14th Street and Houston Street, but its presence in the popular imagination stretches far further than that. Thanks to the West Village's starring role in a number of television shows and movies, the neighborhood's tree-lined blocks, elegant pre-war buildings and low-key coffee shops, boutiques and restaurants are what a great many people -- NYC dwellers and non-New Yorkers alike -- think of when they close their eyes and imagine luxury living in Manhattan. And with good reason: the West Village is as elegant a neighborhood as Manhattan has to offer: a community at once unmistakably bohemian and cutting-edge cool, and a wonderful place to live.
While the West Village's entertainment options run from the quiet bistros, gastro-pubs and bars on its sedate side streets to the booming clubs of the meatpacking district, the apartments for rent in the West Village generally fall under the category of "classic".
Which isn't that surprising, considering that the West Village is home to a host of gracious pre-war rental apartments that complement their classic aesthetics with modern finishes and fixtures. The pre-war rental apartments at The Archive, for instance, offer timeless old-Manhattan aesthetics alongside such ultra-modern amenities as a landscaped rooftop deck and state-of-the-art fitness center. The Village offers a similarly impressive mix of the contemporary and classic, as well as some stylish pre-war accents in its rental apartments. Even new construction rental buildings such as the elegant Highline blend seamlessly with the neighborhood's architectural heritage. The West Village's timeless grace has ensured that it remains one of Manhattan's most desirable residential neighborhoods, and a quintessential example of Manhattan luxury living.

Still, the timeless elegance of its pre-war rental apartments, prime location and unique suite of building services ensure that The Villager has remained one of the finest no-fee rentals in the West Village.
