Our top Union Square Moving Tips
Beyond the park, you’ll find the bounds of the neighborhood stretching from 5th Avenue to Irving Place west to east. North to south, it spans from East 18th Street to East 14th Street. It’s surrounded by other great neighborhoods, including Gramercy, East Village, Greenwich Village, and the Flatiron District.
This neighborhood may be nestled into the downtown Manhattan scene, but it’s no shrinking violet. Here’s a few details and tips to get you better acquainted with your new NYC home:
- Commuting. On foot, on wheels, or on the tracks, you’ll have your pick of getting around in Union Square. When it comes to traveling by the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s subway system, this part of Manhattan is a serious transit hub. You’ll find several lines will lead to the neighborhood at the 14th Street- Union Square station, including the 4,5,6, N W, Q, and R subway trains. If you’d rather locomote solo, this part of Manhattan is the 4th most walkable neighborhood in the city (with a score of 100 by walkscore.com). Biking around Union Square gets a score of 92. So, if you’ve got room to store your 2-wheeler, you’re in for a breezy ride. With these types of options, you may part ways with your personal vehicle all together! Parking is a whole ‘nother ball game in NYC.
- Cost of housing. Though this part of the city is pretty commercial, there are abodes available for purchase or rental. However, being so close to the plaza and in the downtown area will cost you. For instance, the most recent median listing price for a home in Union Square was at $1.3 million. If you’re looking at rentals, your square footage will be pricey. The average studio apartment in the neighborhood will come in just under 500 square feet and run you about $2,923 per month. If you’re in need of a bedroom — or several bedrooms — you’ll find rents between $4,938 and $8,178 per month. It may come as no surprise, but included in the cost is proximity to a really exciting and desirable part of the city.
- Arts and culture. In and around Union Square is a happening place. Folks from all over the city, including tourists, regularly make their way to the huge year-round Greenmarket located on the north and west sides of the park to find locally sourced edible goods and produce. As the temperatures turn colder towards the end of the year, Union Square is also home to the Winter Holiday Market featuring over 100 vendors who brave the weather to sell their crafts, food, and art. Another year-round fixture is the Metronome on the south side of the park. This public work of art was installed in 1999. It depicts in its digital digits an abstraction of time. Some of them tell the current time while others display the remaining time in the day. The digit right in the middle moves too fast for the eye to see. It’s a real sight to see. Speaking of time, if you’re looking for a rocking good one, head on over to Irving Plaza. With capacity for just about 1,000 fellow concert goers, this venue is frequented by mid-level and big-name acts that come through the city. It’s been around since the 1970’s, so you know those walls have stories to tell — including that the Ramones once graced the place with their presence.
- Dining park side. You’ll be able to get to some of the best places to eat in the country from this neighborhood. But, don’t pass up the opportunity to eat good in your own neighborhood. For instance, whether you’re carbo-loading or just craving something with a good crust, Breads Bakery will be a go-to spot for your baked goods. For a classic and seasonal Italian menu, put down a few bucks and make a reservation at Union Square Café, for the Rigatoni Alla Norma or the Country Pork Chop. Another hot spot for a special sit-down occasion that has Japanese fare on offer nearby is Shuko. Opting for takeout instead? Try Chard’s Southeast Asian flavors, like their Roti John, a seasoned curry in an open-faced omelet sandwich. Or maybe you’d prefer to order family-style, in which case Laut has a mix of Thai, Malaysian, and Singaporean dishes that are both delicious and affordable. And that’s just a taste of what this part of NYC is cooking up for you.
