This pre-war elevator building, which is close to many fine restaurants, sits on a peaceful winding street that epitomizes Greenwich Village character. The West Village has a unique character all its own, spanning West 14th Street to West Houston Street, from Sixth Avenue to the Hudson River. This area features classic artists' lofts as well as new residential towers facing the Hudson River. The Whitney Museum of American Art, designed by Renzo Piano, has a new home in the West Village. Fans of architecture and reading alike can enjoy the Jefferson Market Branch of the New York Public Library. The charming atmosphere combined with the most choice restaurants and nightlife make the West Village one of the most popular neighborhoods in the city.
