Planning notes for New York
The West Village, located in Lower Manhattan, is defined by a street layout that predates the 1811 Commissioner’s Grid, resulting in a network of angled and narrow thoroughfares. Historically, the area evolved from an 18th-century rural settlement into a residential district. It contains the Greenwich Village Historic District, which protects a high concentration of 19th-century architecture. The architectural landscape features Federal-style rowhouses from the early 1800s, Greek Revival townhomes.
