Do you have to be semi-rich to live in the Village (section of Manhattan), New York City?


Travel Info
I was born and raised in Midtown Manhattan and have recently visited the Village and ate at a lovely French restaurant called The A.O.C.. I fell in love with the Village instantly and would like to know what kinds of jobs the people hold, who live there, and what types of salaries they are on in order to live in the Village.

Also, how much is the average rent of a niceeee apartment there?

What is the average price of an apartment to buy in the Village too?


In my building in Midtown Manhattan, the cost to buy an apartment on average is between $750k-$850k, sometimes more or lower, around $300k.

I am 17 and am very curious because I am looking to major in either Finance or Accounting in college and would like to know if a job in those fields (in N.Y.C.) would support a life in the Village.

Any help/information would be great!!!

Note*: Please, only answer if you or someone that you know live/used to live in the Village.

Thanks!

Travel Tips
You can and should check rental and sales prices yourself on newyork.craigslist.org; the Sunday New York Times also prints many ads for apartment sales. A 1BR apartment in the central part of Greenwich Village will run you at least $2000/month, probably more like $3000. To buy, a similar apartment will cost at least $600,000. With a finance degree you may be able to get a Wall Street/investment banking job and afford that sooner rather than later. You might also consider the East Village, where prices are generally lower.
