This weekend, I spent Sunday afternoon viewing Brooklyn Heights with a client. Now that I have lived in the West Village for some time, I really recognized a whole new set of similarities between the villages. The cobblestone streets - and the gracious homes along Hicks are the parallel of the swooping bannisters and wide steps found along Charles Street. The local storefronts sprinkled along Montague Street reminded me of the stores along Hudson between W 10th and W 12th.
The geography and connections are also similar: The neighborhood is well connected via many of the same lines as West Village: A/C/E and the 1/2/3 lines all stop in the neighborhood. The waterfront is walkable from virtually every home - and there are many residents that have maintained roots in the neighborhood for many year.
For the similar feel, and connectivity, the neighborhood provides a strong alternative to the West Village buyer that prioritizes larger square footage properties.
