Its history is also that of longtime residents\u2019 determined efforts to save it from the designs of new, wealthy neighbors and powerful landlords. Among the first New York neighborhoods to gentrify, the West Village has seen that change unfold more slowly but long predating the gentrification that is rapidly transforming parts of Brooklyn and northern Manhattan. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to say exactly when Greenwich Village gentrified. It didn\u2019t happen in one fell swoop as it did for [other] parts of town,\u201d Jeremiah Moss writes in his 2017 book, <em>Vanishing New York<\/em>. (Greenwich Village is an older name and larger category, understood to include parts of the Village east of Sixth Avenue.)
