Greenwich Village Apartments - Manhattan, NYC

Greenwich Village apartments come in a wide variety. South of 11th Street, you have a mix of pre-war buildings and townhouses. To the West and North of Washington Square, there tends to be a higher concentration of Greenwich Village townhouse rentals. The West and North have several blocks of tree lined streets with charming 3 and 4 story brownstones. If you are determined to land one of the Greenwich apts for rent, but can’t afford the brownstones, there are several pre-war low-rise apt buildings.

There are also high rise rental apartment buildings on 8th Street with amenities such as doorman, in-building washer-dryer and elevators. Immediately north of Washington Square are several fancy 5th avenue buildings that offer rentals and high end amenities. In addition, just South of Union Square are several new, doorman buildings with large windows and great views of Union Square.

If you want a quiet street, we suggest either the North or West parts of the Village, namely 9th Street, 10th Street or 11th Street. In addition, you can find a few quiet Greenwich Village apartments along Sullivan Street, just North of Houston. MacDougal Street and several of the North South roads below Washington Square are loud, lively and bar/restaurant packed.

Finding a no-fee Greenwich Village apartment is more difficult than in many of the other neighborhoods. This is because landlords rarely market their units on their own and because vacancy rates in Greenwich are lower than the rest of the city, landlords are unlikely to pay the broker’s commission, which is how no-fee brokers get paid. All that said, you can still find no fee Greenwich Village apts for rent – you’ll just have to look a bit harder and try to contact management companies directly. Many are open to you contacting them and they won’t charge you a fee. Here is a list of Greenwich Village apartment buildings that offer no fee listings.

11 Waverly Place
One Union Square South
