Broker & Buyer Comments

This "no-frills" post-war co-op at the "nexus of Chelsea and West Village" offers "tremendous value" with its "comprehensive amenities" including "24/7 doorman service," "convenient laundry on every floor" and a "serene courtyard garden." While the "concrete exterior may not win beauty contests," the "liberal board policies" and "prime location" steps from the A/C/E/L trains make it an "attractive option" for those seeking "full-service living in a coveted downtown location."

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
