Rich New Yorkers who wanted to escape the growing city moved there to relax. This was in 1820, when only the most southern part of Manhattan was occupied.

Google, Disney, and Facebook built their headquarters within walking distance, and executives from these companies now love to make the Village district their home. The demand for rentals and sales has skyrocketed as new property cannot be built in this protected historic district. CREDIT:New Yor...
