East Village 

East Village neighborhood lies between 14 th Street and East Houston and Broadway and Avenue B. The center of the region is marked by Bowery to St. Mark’s Place, which is full of unique and electronic shops including new and used record stores, as well as antique clothing boutiques. You can witness great views, such as “ Alamo” (a steel sculpted cube is balanced on one point), from Astor Place.

Manhattan ’s night-life is formed by both East and West Village together. Here you can find CBGB, the club best known for launching groups such as Talking Heads and Blondie.

Here in East Village you will also find the homes of Cornelius Vanderbilt and John Jacob Astor, located on the Lafayette Street. Nowadays, most of the housings in this neighborhood consists of low-rise and pre-war buildings.

East Village was once considered outside of what a New York City real estate agent would show to a customer, since it was known as Hell’s Angels headquarters, full of punk rockers and drug dealers. Now, it is an enclave that young yuppies are more than willing to consider for a better price on a rental, apartments in this NYC neighborhood are listed in every real estate company operating in New York.
