Overview of 23 West 16th Street

23 West 16th Street is a four story, four unit Greek Revival landmark cooperative dating to 1834. The pre war brownstone is a walk up with an intercom, and its one apartment per floor arrangement gives the building a townhouse scale.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission recognized the building for its historical and architectural character. Original wide plank floors, high ceilings, crown and baseboard moldings, fireplaces, and loft like proportions preserve its period vocabulary, while an architect who oversaw a gut renovation was formerly based here. The resulting interiors have appeared in design books, magazines, and The New York Times.

Full floor layouts recur among the residences, often with a double parlor that separates living and dining areas, southern exposure, renovated kitchens, fireplaces, and laundry. Apartments also include floor through arrangements and private outdoor space, while an agreement with the cooperative covers additional roof rights and the possibility of a duplex configuration. Skylights, basement storage, and garden or terrace access are also part of the building's range of residential features.

On West 16th Street between Union Square, Greenwich Village, and Chelsea, the building is around the corner from the Union Square Greenmarket, Eataly, the Strand Bookstore, and Fifth Avenue shopping. The Union Square station, serving the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R, and W trains, is nearby, as are restaurants including ABC Kitchen.

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.
