How Much to Live in a Loft in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village?

by Mark Wellborn

In our weekly departure from DC-related real estate fare, we bring back the popular price-guessing game for homes in other metropolitan areas. In this installment, we head back to New York City where we ask you to give us the price of a two-bedroom loft in Greenwich Village.

The two-bedroom, two-bath loft measures out at approximately 2,700 square feet, and with 13-foot ceilings and almost 60-feet of windows, anyone that has dreamed of living in a loft in New York City will fulfill that dream if they buy this property. The home is in need of a few improvements, particularly something that will provide more natural light to the bedrooms. That said, we warn you that any guess below $1 million is just silly.

Post your guesses in the comments section below. And remember, be fair and don’t do any research of your own.

    I think I have been to this loft before! $1.5 million, but that could still be too low.

  1. Aaron P. said at 12:33 pm on Friday November 13, 2009:

    I’d say about $2.9 million.

    $2.5 mill. NYC real estate is expensive!

  1. Mark S. said at 12:50 pm on Friday November 13, 2009:

    How about the $2.4 million range?

  1. jag said at 12:57 pm on Friday November 13, 2009:

    $2.099 million

    yeah at least $2M… maybe $2.5M

  1. Jon H. said at 2:47 pm on Friday November 13, 2009:

    $2.3 million

    The loft is cool, but that’s a TON of square footage for only 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. You could put 3 bedrooms and 3 baths in a space that large and still have a fairly open floor plan. I think i’d put it a few hundred thousand higher if that were the case, but I guess that’s what you sacrifice for a cavernous loft.

    2,000,000.

    I’m guessing 2.8 mil, mainly b/c that’s what someone I know paid for a similarly sized unit in the same area.  No, I do not have that kind of money.

    At over $1000/sq ft, a 2BR loft space in the Village this size should run approx $3.2 Million. Esp because there are 2 baths and it’s aesthetically renovated. Two years ago, it would’ve run over $4 Mil, but hey, it’s a bad economy!

  1. Kurtis said at 12:09 pm on Saturday November 14, 2009:

    $3.25 million
