221 West 20th Street

Co-op located in Chelsea, between Seventh Avenue & Eighth Avenue

Overview of 221 West 20th Street

221 West 20th Street is a five story, 10 unit co-op in a 1901 Chelsea brownstone. The walk up building retains pre-war character while accommodating apartments with flexible layouts, including open loft type plans and spaces that can function as either one bedroom homes with an office or two bedroom residences.

Apartments commonly have high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, and updated kitchens and bathrooms. Orientations vary, with north, south, east, and west exposures represented, and several layouts are arranged for cross ventilation. The building's small scale also allows for full floor residences and apartments with generous alcoves that can serve as offices or sleeping areas.

The building has a pet friendly policy, deeded basement storage, a bicycle room, central laundry, and access to a small garden. Heat is included in maintenance, the co-op has strong financials, and gifting is permitted; subletting is subject to board approval.

Set on a tree lined block between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, the building is close to the High Line, Chelsea Piers, the Hudson River, Chelsea Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, FIT, and the School of Visual Arts. Restaurants, galleries, nightlife, and the Meatpacking District are also nearby, placing the building amid Chelsea's west side destinations without leaving its quieter residential block.

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.
