Situated at the intersection of Union Square, Flatiron, and Greenwich Village, this sophisticated two-bedroom, two-bath residence offers protected, unobstructed park views through soaring 10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows-a diminishing commodity in a location with enduring demand and long-term value.
The open chef's kitchen blends form and function with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Miele cooktop and dishwasher, and a custom island designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring dual east and south exposures, a generous walk-in closet, and a windowed spa-like bath with double vanities, soaking tub, Waterworks rain shower, and heated towel rack.
Additional highlights include central air conditioning, in-unit washer/dryer, and the exclusivity of just two residences per floor, reinforcing privacy, desirability, and long-term market appeal.
Residents enjoy a 24-hour attended lobby and private fitness center, with immediate access to the Union Square Greenmarket, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and some of Manhattan's most established dining and cultural destinations. With multiple subway lines (4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R) just outside your door, connectivity remains unmatched.
Properties offering direct Union Square views in a full-service, boutique building represent a finite and increasingly scarce asset class-one that has historically demonstrated resilience and sustained demand across market cycles.
This is downtown living at its most refined-and an opportunity to own a home whose location, view, and building profile are simply not reproducible. Welcome to 8 Union Square South.
Quick Profile
Birthplace of beatniks, Greenwich Village has always been a neighborhood bursting with creativity, home to artists, poets, musicians and writers. There is a lot of foot traffic in the neighborhood, as it gives convenient access to many other neighborhoods. There are a lot of popular eateries on MacDougal Street and bars on Bleecker Street. The neighborhood has a bit of a college-town feel, due to the presence of NYU. There aren’t large chain stores here, so it isn’t really a mecca for shopaholics, but you can find interesting vintage stores and specialty boutiques.
Available housing is centered on pre-war walk-ups. You can find good deals on the quieter, tree-lined side streets, as opposed to the bustling avenues. There are pockets of brownstones and townhouses, some dating back to the early 19th century, throughout the neighborhood, as well. You will find more luxurious housing in the newer high-rise buildings on Park and Fifth Avenues.
Washington Square Park is the heart of the neighborhood. If you sit near the Arch and close your eyes, you might catch an echo of the music and social history of the Park, floating through the air. Greats like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon started their storied careers right here in Greenwich Village. Today, the Village is a celebration of diversity, where everyone is welcome.
