Who should choose West Village or Uptown over Knox?

Quick answer

West Village becomes more attractive for a renter who wants maximum activity in a compact area, restaurants and bars close together, classic Uptown living, and access to the McKinney Avenue trolley. It can also offer more apartment variety for renters who prefer the Uptown environment. Knox may feel more polished and complete for everyday errands, but West Village can be better for someone who wants concentrated social activity and a more energetic urban routine. HomeBase recommends experiencing both rather than choosing from reputation alone.
