350 Bleecker Street: Review and Ratings
between Charles Street & West 10th Street View Full Building Profile
The West Village is full of surprises including this small, neat apartment building that features balconies and fairly extensive sidewalk landscaping. Conveniently located in an area with many antique stores, boutiques and restaurants and some of the finer residential streets in Greenwich Village, the six-story, 137-unit apartment building was erected in 1950 and converted to a cooperative in 1985. With its bold, horizontal façade banding and small corner setbacks, the building tries to blend it with its older neighbors. The balconies, which have opaque screens, are not the most attractive, but balconies on such a small building in such an interesting urban environment and lively streetscape are appealing. A Modernist intrusion such as this could have been more jarring, but it is well-proportioned and substantial and not oppressive. The building is just a few blocks away from a subway and is close to the heart of the West Village, one of the city's most desirable, and active, residential communities. Bleecker Street has a bit more traffic than some of the others in the area, but is full of interesting retail.
