The 1 stops at Christopher Street–Sheridan Square and the A, C, E, B, D, F and M converge at West 4th Street.

Renting in the West Village
The West Village is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in New York, known for its irregular street grid, rowhouses and low buildings. Large rental buildings are rare here, and the four indexed under this heading are all low-rise, at 13 floors or fewer, mostly near the Hudson in the former warehouse blocks.
The Archive on Greenwich Street is the largest, with 479 apartments in the massive brick building completed in 1899 for the federal government, later used to store federal archives and converted to apartments in the late 1980s. Rockrose manages three of the four: The Archive, 110 Horatio Street and 100 Jane Street. 600 Washington, managed by Equity Residential, opened in 2003.
Residents are steps from Hudson River Park, the Whitney Museum and the southern end of the High Line, with Bleecker Street and the Village’s restaurants a short walk inland. The 1 at Christopher Street and the A, C, E and L at 14th Street-Eighth Avenue are the nearest subways. Expect high rents and competition for apartments.
