Room with a View...of Union Square

 Western Side of Union Square in 1928 from The New York Public Library

 Today (well, yesterday actually)

Though it has changed quite a bit from the 1928 photo, Union Square retains it's  recognizable charm and is the intersection of some the hottest downtown neighborhoods- Greenwich Village to the south, Flatiron to the north, Gramercy to it's east and Chelsea to the west. Catch the 4 5 6 L N Q R trains, shop at Whole Foods, Deisel, DSW,etc.

I really like the rentals in this building and there are a few that are new to the market. The units are blank canvases- clean, open spaces that have nice finishings and plenty of space. Their character comes from you- go MidCentury Modern or Baroque, French Country or Eclectic...the apartment can reflect who you are and not a specific build period or design movement. From this almost 800sf one bedroom, you can see it all- it's a large open space with a seperate kitchen and banks of closets. Bedroom and living area have wonderful views!

The Very First

This is the earliest photograph (daguerreotype) known of New York City. The pastoral scene below is a home in what is now the Upper West Side on old Bloomingdale Road, a continuation of Broadway, in the 1840s.

Since this blog is about New York City, its real estate and, therefore, its constant change, I thought this was a fitting start...unrecognizable evidence of a New York that no longer exists and a precursor of the city we live in today. Now, let's FindNY!
