Apartments In Union Square

Union Square apartments provide residents with highly desirable homes near one of the city’s prolific central meeting locations. Union Square runs from 14th Street to 17th Street and from Union Square East (Park Avenue) to Union Square West. It is surrounded by several neighborhoods, including Flatiron, Gramercy, Greenwich Village and the East Village. Although some of the real estate around the area can be expensive, it is a top hangout spot for NYU students and the young demographic. Whether it is 2pm or 2am, the southern part of the Square is generally packed with individuals reading, skateboarding or just conversing.

Since Union Square acts as a crossroads to so many neighborhoods, its real estate offerings and population are extremely diverse. Living options include Flatiron lofts, Village mid-rise buildings and Gramercy townhouses. Food and drink options vary as well, ranging from upscale hotel restaurants and lounges to comfort food spots, coffee shops and dive bars.

Living near Union Square has many benefits, including direct access to the Union Square Greenmarket, with a focus on local, organic produce, and various other markets like the Holiday Market, where vendors sell arts, crafts and jewelry. Residents in need of home goods or groceries can patronize numerous big box retailers, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Barnes & Noble and Filene’s Basement. For entertainment, many events and activities are available for people of all ages, such as Fuerza Bruta, the annual NYC pillow fight and shows at the Vineyard Theatre.
