This attractive, mostly low-rise, area is considered by many to be the most "human-scale" neighborhood in all of Manhattan. They neighborhood was laid out before the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 – thus, before the grid – and is one of the most charmingly confusing areas on the island. It is perhaps no coincidence that Jane Jacobs' classic "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" was inspired by the author's observation of the neighborhood life on the blocks surrounding her West Village apartment.

Architecturally, the West Village has been preserved pretty well, which is a plus if you like the character of old buildings but a minus if you're looking for an affordable modern apartment. There are very few modern buildings and only a handful of them would qualify as "high-rise." The main reason for this is a local geological quirk: the famous Manhattan "rock" foundation, easily reachable in Midtown and in the Financial District area, lies very deep in the West Village area. As a result, the West Village became a lovely, mostly low- and mid-rise, neighborhood dominated by 19th and early 20th-century brownstones, townhouses, and small apartment buildings, and oozing the charm of an era that has long passed.
