Overview of 211 Thompson Street

Located in the heart of Greenwich Village, 211 Thompson Street is a post-war cooperative building offering a quintessential New York City living experience. The building is conveniently situated near Washington Square Park, NYU, and the vibrant cultural and dining scenes of SoHo and Little Italy. Residents enjoy the convenience of a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and laundry facilities on every floor. The building's unique architectural features include angular fire balconies and octagonal windows over the entrance canopy.

The cooperative comprises 96 units, many of which feature mezzanines and distinctive layouts. Notable apartments include triplex and duplex configurations with features such as sunken living rooms, spiral staircases, and private outdoor spaces like Juliet balconies and gardens. High ceilings and hardwood floors are common throughout, enhancing the spacious and airy feel of the residences.

Bernhard Goetz, known as the Subway Shooter, is among the building's notable past residents, adding a layer of historical intrigue. The cooperative allows for co-purchasing, pied-à-terre ownership, and subletting with board approval, though pets are not permitted. A 2% flip tax is applicable to buyers.

With its prime location and well-maintained facilities, 211 Thompson Street offers a desirable lifestyle for those seeking to immerse themselves in the dynamic atmosphere of Greenwich Village. The building's proximity to multiple subway lines ensures easy access to the rest of the city, making it an attractive option for both full-time residents and those seeking a pied-à-terre.

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.
