Overview of 45 Fifth Avenue

45 Fifth Avenue is a distinguished 16-story prewar cooperative designed by Sugarman & Berger in 1923. The handsome brick, stone and terra cotta building, which was converted to a cooperative in 1983, contains approximately 63 apartments with four units per floor.

The building offers residents a classic canopied entrance, virtual doorman system, welcoming lobby, on-site superintendent, central laundry facilities, and a service elevator. Its prewar character is preserved throughout, from the marble staircases to the elegant common areas.

Situated on Lower Fifth Avenue's Gold Coast in the Greenwich Village Historic District, the building sits directly north of 43 Fifth Avenue and across from the First Presbyterian Church and its gardens. This prime location provides easy access to Washington Square Park, Union Square Greenmarket, and numerous transportation options including multiple subway lines.

The co-op maintains a pet-friendly policy (with board approval) and permits subletting, though guarantors and co-signers are not allowed. Its location offers convenient access to numerous amenities including Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and some of Manhattan's most acclaimed restaurants and shopping destinations.

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.
