A no-frills West Village co-op with irresistibly priced apartments
Located on one of Manhattan’s rare roads that bends, this prewar co-op finds itself off-the grid on a West Village side street. Ironically, this address happens to be in one of the few places where it is possible for seasoned New Yorkers to get lost, but also where the proverbial “location, location, location” couldn’t be a more apt descriptor. Lined with iconic brownstones, luxury boutiques, fancy restaurants and atmospheric cocktail bars, this co-op is situated on, as Compass broker Jack Elliot Heard describes, “the quintessential West Village street.” Completed in 1900, the seven-story building is swathed in a rosy-hued stucco and finished with Neo-Classical style architectural detailing — including rows of columns topped with cartouches, friezes separating floors and arched windows along the top story.
Charming prewar apartments that could use a renovation
73 units across seven stories range from studios to one-bedrooms. “The turnover is extremely low,” says Heard. “No one seems to move out unless someone dies or is forced out for some unforeseen reason.” This means that when apartments do go on the market, they could, in Heard’s words, “use a renovation.” His unit, #7C, is a top-floor studio “filled with light,” “tremendous views of the block,” and “the potential to make it your own,” he says, hinting that the new owner may want to remodel the kitchen and bathroom. Currently listed at $500,000, the price is “unheard of” for the West Village, making it attractive to entry-level buyers. The last recorded sale, #7F, closed at $650,000 in April 2018; the recently renovated one-bedroom has a living room with built-in shelving, a brand-new kitchen and bathroom and a queen-sized bedroom with a spacious walk-in closet.
According to Heard, the building is “low-key,” with modestly sized, “basic” apartments that are “well-kept.” Throughout, charming prewar flourishes adorn the apartments, including arched doorways, formal foyers, floor molding and ten-foot ceilings. Furthermore, many units have the original fireplaces, which are now decorative.
A flexible co-op board
“In terms of purchasing, the board is very relaxed, says Heard. Buyers can expect “easy board approval.” Plus, the building allows subletting, making it ideal for investors.
No amenities and super low fees
The elevator building has a live-in superintendent and part-time maintenance staff. “It has no amenities, so to speak,” Heard says, “so the monthlies are super low.” The co-op doesn’t have a doorman or a lobby. (The entry is a standard hallway lined with mailboxes that leads to the elevator.) A digital intercom system and double doors ensure security. For these reasons, the building has obscenely low maintenance fees, which include taxes. For example, Heard’s property was put on the market for $500,000 in the last quarter of 2024 and listed only $1,216 in monthlies.
Romantic side streets with some of the best bars and restaurants in the city
Culture is plentiful — including Cherry Lane Theatre (the oldest continuously running off-Broadway theater), Film Forum (a nonprofit movie theater) and The Future Perfect (a collectible design gallery) — all within a few blocks radius. Notably, all of the neighborhood’s famous jazz spots are within walking distance, including but not limited to Blue Note, Smalls and Village Vanguard. For a bit of green space, West Village residents can go east to Washington Square Park or west to Hudson River Park. Meanwhile, because of the low-rise prewar architecture, restaurants in the area tend to be quite quaint. Favorites include: Chef Andrew Carmellini's American neighborhood restaurant, The Dutch; classic Italian dishes in the white marble ambiance designed by GRT Architects at Don Angie; and the Michelin-starred Minetta Tavern, a French eatery with a high-end take gastropub classics and checkerboard tiled floors. From the prohibition-style cocktail spot Employees Only to the hard-to-find exotic cocktails joint Angel’s Share to Japanese-style libations at Sip&Guzzle, bars tend to be sexy and atmospheric. Admittedly, there are a few low-brow favorites, too, like Corner Bistro, the pub that serves cheeseburgers and chili dogs on paper plates. Residents can shop at nearby markets for groceries: Brooklyn Fare, Westfield and Morton Williams.
Less than ten minutes to the nearest subway station
Just over a quarter-mile walk to 6th Avenue, residents can find West Fourth Street-Washington Square Park station, which provides access to the A, C, E, the B and D lines, and the F and M trains. The 1 line is also available at Christopher Street-Stonewall station at 7th Avenue. At Hudson Street, there’s also the PATH train. Major thoroughfares — Houston Street, West Street and the Holland Tunnel — make getting around the city and to Brooklyn and New Jersey easy.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
