West Village

On Manhattan’s west side between the Hudson River and Sixth Avenue, roughly from Houston Street up toward 14th Street, the West Village is known for its tree-lined blocks, historic brownstones, and a charming, irregular street grid. Visitors come for Bleecker Street boutiques, intimate restaurants and jazz clubs, the Stonewall National Monument at Christopher Park, and easy access to Hudson River Park’s piers. The neighborhood’s narrow one-way streets draw steady traffic and heavy foot activity, so parking spaces close to popular corners can turn over quickly.

Street parking is limited and metered in many areas, with alternate side regulations and commercial loading zones reducing availability, especially near Christopher Street, Bleecker Street, the Meatpacking edge by Gansevoort, and around Seventh Avenue. Private garages and lots provide the most reliable options, particularly near major avenues and along the western waterfront, and booking parking in West Village in advance can save time and reduce stress. Always review current rules and signage on arrival and check official sources for the latest parking regulations before you go.
