252 West 20th Street is a boutique prewar co-op built in 1901, located in the heart of Chelsea between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. The 6 story elevator building contains 18 to 20 units and features a newly added roof deck with city views. The building offers on-site laundry and a straightforward board approval process, with some units requiring no board approval at all.
Apartments throughout the building retain classic prewar details including wood burning fireplaces, exposed brick, hardwood floors, and high ceilings ranging from 9'9" to 12 feet. Many units feature windowed kitchens and bathrooms, with several apartments offering iconic Empire State Building views through oversized windows. Studios and one bedrooms are common, with layouts that often include south facing exposures and generous natural light. Recent renovations in various units have added modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances and dishwashers, updated bathrooms with soaking tubs or large showers, and custom built in storage.
The building maintains flexible ownership policies, allowing co purchasing, guarantors, parents buying for children, and pied-à-terres, along with a liberal sublet policy. Cats are permitted but dogs are not allowed. Monthly maintenance is notably low, with one listing citing $575. The location provides easy access to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Chelsea Market, the High Line, and multiple subway lines including the A/C/E/1/L/F/M trains, placing residents in the center of Chelsea's dining, gallery, and cultural scene.

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.
