IN THE WEST VILLAGE , THE MOST POPULAR NEIGHBORHOOD OF NEW YORK

As a leader in global commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education and entertainment, it’s no wonder New York City is home to over eight million people and one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the world. From world-famous Central Park and high fashion 5th Avenue shopping, to the bright lights of Broadway and renowned museums like the Metropolitan and MoMA, New York City has it all and more.

This variety and vitality can also be found in the West Village, the location of Ellington, your urban Solstice home in New York City. Rich with history and culture, the West Village still has its quaint mélange of narrow streets and cobblestone alleys from its early days as a small country village. With its low-rise townhouses and profusion of cafés, shops, small theaters, boutiques, galleries, bodegas and music clubs, The Village is reminiscent of such European cities as Paris and Budapest. Best known as home to the bohemian and hip, today it is a modern day mecca for writers, artists, intellectuals, actors, and students, as well as many professionals and families. 

The evenings bring a special energy to The Village with an abundance of bars and restaurants serving patrons their take on global food and drink. As night progresses, the liveliness continues with locals enjoying experimental theaters, music clubs, and late night coffee houses. Given all this history, color and cool, it’s easy to see why the West Village – lower Manhattan – is one of the city’s most popular and desirable neighborhoods in which to live and a perfect location for Solstice members to experience all that New York City has to offer.
