East Village

Creative energy, deeply rooted.

The East Village is shaped by small storefronts, walk-up buildings, music and theater history, and an independent streak. Tompkins Square Park provides a recognizable neighborhood center, while community gardens punctuate the surrounding streets.

From St. Mark’s Place to the avenues farther east, each pocket has its own balance of activity and residential character. Older apartments, townhouses, and newer condominiums form a varied housing landscape. The neighborhood rewards walking: its most memorable details are often found between the major avenues.
