How Much to Live in Manhattan's West Village?

  • August 14th 2009

by Mark Wellborn

In our weekly departure from DC-related real estate fare, we ask you to give us the price of a one-bedroom floor-through condo in a renovated pre-war townhouse in Manhattan’s West Village.

How Much to Live in Manhattan's West Village?: Figure 1

The property has a private 600 square-foot roof deck, a living room with a gas fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with black granite counters and a wine cooler and a large bedroom with 11-foot ceilings, exposed brick and three huge windows. If you buy this unit, you are also buying the air rights above the building, which would allow you to build up. The interior square footage is about 800, but remember that the roof deck tacks on another 600.

Keep in mind that the West Village is one of Manhattan’s trendiest neighborhoods, and the city’s residential property prices are some of the most expensive in the country. In short, think higher rather than lower with your guesses. The true price will be revealed next week.
