Overview of 290 Sixth Avenue

290 Sixth Avenue is a six story red brick co-op built in 1941 and designed by H. I. Feldman. Located between Minetta Lane and Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, the 66 unit building sits nestled between three parks, including Father Demo Square and steps from Washington Square Park. The building's architecture is notable for its unusual plan with more than a dozen façades on its western side, punched out rooflines instead of traditional cornices, and a handsome entrance surround set within a light well.

Apartments range from studios to four bedrooms and retain classic prewar details including 9 foot ceilings, step down living rooms, arched doorways, and crown moldings. Many units feature angled or six sided layouts, windowed enclosed kitchens, and abundant closet space. Several listings highlight high end kitchen renovations with appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, and Viking. Top floor apartments offer particularly bright exposures with views of treetops, Father Demo Square's fountain, the historic Our Lady of Pompeii Church, and even the Freedom Tower from select units. Multiple apartments include in-unit washer/dryers, and a private storage unit outside one of the three bedroom apartments conveys with that sale.

The building offers a live-in superintendent, elevator, video intercom security, bicycle room, storage bins, laundry facilities, package room, and fenced gardens. The co-op is pet friendly with a flexible board, permits pied-à-terre ownership, and allows subleases after two years of residency with board approval. The location provides immediate access to the West 4th Street subway hub serving the A, C, E, B, D, F, and M trains, with the cultural attractions, restaurants, and boutiques of Greenwich Village, West Village, and Soho all within walking distance.

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.
