UGH I LOVE the west village. No complaints from me. Good food. Subway lines (for the most part). And it doesn’t feel as hectic as midtown. I mean only con might be price.

No rodents here. Live on 3rd floor walk up with restaurant next door.

Apartments are quite small (even by NYC standards) unless you pay a hefty price

As @Etrade said, only con I can think of is the price. Maybe also if you’d prefer to have a newer/ bigger/ doorman type building? There aren’t as many of those there.

Just pricey. Otherwise, perfect neighborhood to live in NYC.

Small space and pricey but you might be able to find something given the pandemic. Otherwise, you’ll find lot of food options and great social scene in the west village. Speaking long term, take into consideration where work is for you in Manhattan and that you might have to “commute”, which can add time.

Gorgeous neighborhood but not convenient for public transit. Although that is also a “pro” because being far from public transit keeps loiterers, panhandlers, homeless, crime, and crowds away from you. Go for it because it will never be this cheap again!

I imagine most everyone on this app who knows NYC agrees that the West Village is one of the best places to live in Manhattan. And that’s the reason for the biggest drawback, which is the amount you pay for the space you get.

This could be a pro or a con but NYU dominates a lot of the neighborhood so be ready for a lot of college students once things open back up

Many of my health & fitness colleagues are finding themselves out of work. The next big question is, will they ever go back to a gym or health club. While I hope the answer is yes, we must live in the here and now and create new opportunities for the industry. There is a need and demand for well-trained professionals to work online with patients at all stages of treatment, recovery. How will you effectively train your clients these days?

I had a baby almost a year ago. I should start a 529 account for my child but I am originally from France which also makes her a French citizen and she could easily go to college in France for not much money. It’s pretty much free there, I have 0 Student loan debt. With that in mind, a 529 would not be super helpful if we go that route. Should I consider other options? Do you have suggestions? Thanks so much!
