Prosperous Historical Presence Meets The Artisan’s Hub of Manhattan. Welcome to the East Village.
What was once a northern extension of the Lower East Side is now a community so distinct and proud that it has carved its neighborhood boundaries in Manhattan. The East Village is full of well-preserved prewar townhouses and walk-up apartments while also has welcomed new construction that bows gently to the 19th-century architecture New York is notorious for. Residents of all ages and aspirations find comfort in the locally owned boutiques, galleries, community gardens, and coffee shops while celebrating the neighborhood’s arts and bohemian culture history.
Whether by day or night, New Yorkers have plenty to enjoy in this exciting neighborhood. Taking a stroll through Tompkins Square Park and St. Mark’s Place, listening to the musical talents at Webster Hall, enjoying a comedy show at Upright Citizens Brigade East, and exploring the variety of dive bars and restaurants are among just a sampling of ventures to savor in the East Village. The neighborhood has embraced many counter-culture movements through visual and performing arts. Intimate music locales, off-Broadway theaters, art galleries, and independent movie houses all have stood the test of time and continue to be cherished by East Villagers.
Professionals and students with varying interests, hobbies, and missions gather here and find contentment. There is a style for everyone, from pre-war apartments to luxury condominiums to revamped townhouses on tree-lined avenues. This community is unique and has passions for arts, culture, and history. East Villagers proudly engrave their own space in this lively and thriving community.
