Streets are wonderfully narrow and maze-like, and every block seems prettier than the last. There are plenty of neighborhood stalwarts that help the area retain a comforting sense of history, while a continual rotation of new eateries and shops bring new life and freshness throughout the year. Residents have easy access to the Hudson River Greenway and Washington Square Park, and they enjoy an incredible sense of tranquility and privacy that is impossible to find in other parts of the city.
