West Village Has The 4th Most Street Trees In NYC, Study Shows

WEST VILLAGE, NY — The West Village was found to have the fourth most street trees in New York City, according to a new study.

The West Village had 5,102 street trees per square mile, topping Manhattan for the most street trees, according to a study from Localize.city released Monday.

Citywide, the Manhattan nabe, where median home price listings are $1.79 million, was just behind Cobble Hill, Floral Park and Park Slope, the report shows.

The real estate data website analyzed neighborhoods' street trees based on trees planted on the sidewalk and maintained by the city, which excludes trees in front yards or parks.

Three Manhattan neighborhoods made the top 10: the West Village (No. 4) the Upper East Side (No. 5), Gramercy (No. 8) and Upper West Side (No. 10), the report shows.

"Street trees not only offer us a respite from the midday sun and make the sidewalks more beautiful, but their presence has proven to be good for our health," Dan Levine, an urban planner with Localize, said in a statement.

Half of the leafy neighborhoods are in Brownstone Brooklyn — like Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Brooklyn Heights. Ditmas Park also made the top 10 list citywide, the report shows.

The lowest street trees per square mile were in Willets Point, Queens; Navy Yard, Brooklyn; Garment District, Manhattan; Little Italy, Manhattan; and East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, according to the report.
