Overview of West Village Houses at 137 Barrow Street

West Village Houses is a controversial co-op complex of 42 brown brick, five story walk up buildings completed in 1974. Born from urban planner Jane Jacobs' opposition to high-rise development in the area, the project was designed by Perkins and Will but fell victim to construction delays and budget cuts that eliminated original plans for floor-to-ceiling windows and exposed concrete frames. The result was widely criticized, with The New York Times once calling it an "unloved failure." Originally built as Mitchell-Lama affordable housing with 420 rental apartments, the complex transitioned to market rate cooperatives in the mid-2000s, and its location near the Hudson River has transformed from undesirable to among the city's most expensive real estate.

The complex spans six blocks between Bank, Morton, Washington and West streets, directly across from Hudson River Park and its amenities including Little Island, tennis courts, kayaking, dog runs, and the Gansevoort Peninsula beach. Apartments range from one to four bedrooms, with many featuring generous layouts that accommodate king sized beds, walk in closets, and hardwood or white oak floors. Select units offer private outdoor spaces, while others have Hudson River views or overlook the landscaped common gardens. Some apartments are floor through layouts or multi-level duplexes. Recent renovations in many units include modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite or quartz countertops, updated bathrooms with heated floors and steam showers, and nine foot cement ceilings that provide excellent sound insulation.

Building amenities include beautifully landscaped common gardens equipped with BBQ grills, seating areas, and a bocce ball court, along with bike storage, central laundry rooms, and on-site management with two live-in superintendents providing 24 hour maintenance support. The buildings have no elevators, doormen, fitness centers, or roof decks. The co-op is notably flexible, allowing pets, guarantors, co-purchasers, and gifting with board approval, and permits in-unit washer/dryers. Subletting is allowed after two years of residency, financing up to 75% is accepted, and there is a 5% seller flip tax. Pieds-à-terre are not permitted. The location provides immediate access to the West Village's renowned dining scene including Via Carota, L'Artusi, and I Sodi, plus proximity to the Whitney Museum, Chelsea Market, and the High Line.

This "best bargain in the West Village" offers residents a coveted downtown address with "charming gardens" and the practical perk of in-unit washer/dryers. A "very easy board" adds to the appeal of this value-packed property.

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.
