Greenwich Village

Greenwich Village, or 'The Village,' remains the heart of New York’s creative history and intellectual life. Defined by its winding, non-grid streets and the iconic Washington Square Park, the neighborhood offers a unique sense of place. The real estate market is highly sought after, featuring some of the city's most beautiful historic townhouses, gold-coast cooperatives, and discreet luxury developments that maintain the area's low-rise charm.

Kensington

Kensington is a residential Brooklyn neighborhood bordered by Prospect Park to the north and the landmarked Green-Wood Cemetery to the west, with Ocean Parkway running through its center as one of the borough's signature tree-lined boulevards. The housing stock includes brick rowhouses, prewar co-op apartment buildings along Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue, and detached Victorian homes on the side streets, served by the F and G trains at Fort Hamilton Parkway and Church Avenue. The B and Q express trains are accessible within a short walk, providing a 30-to-35-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan.
