15 Fifth Avenue Currently, Via Google Maps  The starchitect Robert A.M Stern has designed a new development to rise in Greenwich Village at 14 Fifth Avenue, which will stand as one of the tallest in the neighborhood.

New York City is known for its sky-reaching towers and busy streets packed with endless things to do. But when it comes to living in the city, the most desirable places are the more quaint neighborhoods, tucked away between the tall buildings at the center of Manhattan in the West, East, and Greenwich Villages. Here are three developments still available in the Manhattan villages.

Looking for a rental located near New York City’s nightlife hotspots? Here's a list of three developments that’ll make you feel like this city really does never sleep.

Living room at a luxury apartment at 57 Reade Street. Zumper's February’s Rental Report has been released, and its data revealed New York City’s rental market is still second only to San Francisco in its fierce competitiveness and monthly rental price. While 1- and 2-bedrooms are up 7.3 and 3.1 percent, respectively, from last year, February was a slightly less expensive month than January, showing a 1.8 decrease for 1-bedrooms and a 2.4 percent fall for 2-bedrooms.

While the park itself isn’t all that big, it’s a popular hangout that’s filled with buskers, small vendors, and plenty of other people taking a break from the usual hustle and bustle of the city.

Many apartments can claim to have the latest and greatest in luxury living, but these boutique rentals are truly unique, and each in a prime location.

If you’ve ever searched for an apartment in New York City, you’ve probably used, or at least have heard of Craigslist. And if your result was anything like the typical experience, you probably saw some small, dusty apartments in need of repair that were not worth the price tag. Sure, great pre-war apartments exist all across Manhattan and Brooklyn, but they aren’t your only option.

Living in New York City comes with a price tag. The higher the price, the better the neighborhood, the more premium the amenities on offer, and maybe a building with a great history, and well known past residents too. New Yorkers have a plethora of options like the uber expensive, recent combo-condo on the market at 15 Central Park West, at a whopping $125,000/month, which was not too long ago on the market for sale by owner Leroy Schecter for a slashed price of $85 million.

It may not feel exactly like it now, but spring is coming soon to New York City! The sloppy weather we have been experiencing for the past few days is going to make way for a glorious, warm season which will make most of us want to spend more time outdoors in the city. This is where living near a park comes in handy—the city’s beautiful parks are a great place to hang out and soak up the sunshine during the warmer months.
