Manhattan Apartments for Rent near Equinox 97 Greenwich Avenue

Bank Street is one of the loveliest streets in the West Village, and is famous for its historic buildings, tree-lined sidewalks, shady stoops and more than a few locations recognizable to movie buffs and "Sex and the City" fans. Greenwich Avenue, on the other hand, is one of the vital arteries of the West Village. 1 Bank Street sits at the corner of these two contrasting streets, and both Bank Street's elegance -- in the form of gracious, well-appointed apartments -- and Greenwich Avenue's heart-of-it-all practicality.

Greenwich Village has changed quite a bit since the stately six-story luxury mid-rise known today as The Villager was built back in 1902. The Villager, too, has been through many incarnations during that century-plus in Greenwich village: it was the famed restaurant Charles restaurant in the 1940s, was converted from offices to rental apartments in 1981, and given a luxurious top-to-bottom renovation in 1995.
