88 Charles Street is a pre-war co-op building in Manhattan's West Village, built in 1900. The 5-story walk-up contains 20 units and features an intercom system.
88 Charles Street is a landmarked pre-war co-op built in 1900, located in the desirable West Village between Bleecker Street and West 4th Street. This five-story brick brownstone walk-up comprises 20 units and is part of the 45-unit 84-88 Charles Street Owners Corp. The building features a part-time super, bike storage, and a virtual intercom system, although it lacks on-site laundry facilities. Many units have installed their own washers and dryers with approval.
Apartments in the building showcase classic pre-war elements, including exposed brick, high ceilings (typically 9 feet), hardwood floors, and windowed kitchens and bathrooms. One-bedroom layouts are prevalent, with many units offering tree-top views and renovated kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances. Top-floor apartments enjoy expansive rooftop views from every room. The co-op is notably flexible, permitting pets, pied-à-terre purchases, co-purchasing, gifting, and subletting after one year of ownership (3 out of every 5 years), all with relatively low monthly maintenance.
Situated just steps from Hudson River Park, residents have access to acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, and vibrant jazz clubs along tree-lined streets, some of which are still cobblestone. The street itself was named after Charles Christopher Amos, who also inspired the name of nearby Christopher Street. Interestingly, the section of Charles Street where number 88 is located was known as Van Ness Place from 1866 to 1936, named after the Van Ness family farm that occupied the block until 1865.

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.
