Carter’s Review

"This 21-story, 404-unit, white-brick apartment building was built in 1963 and converted to a cooperative in 1980.It occupies the entire west blockfront on the Avenue of The Americas from 12th to 13th Streets in the heart of the most desirable residential area of Greenwich Village.All the charm of Greenwich Village is close at hand: the Jefferson and Balducci food stores, the real Ray's Pizza, PS 41, one of the best public schools in the city, elegant nightclubs a block away on 13th Street, the great Jefferson Market Courthouse Library is two blocks south and the finest blocks in the village are across the avenue."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-positioned" postwar high-rise in the "heart of Greenwich Village" offers residents a "full-service" experience with "coveted amenities" including a roof deck, bike room and garage. The "transit-friendly" location near multiple subway lines puts you steps from "destination dining" and "gourmet shopping" at Citarella and Jefferson Market. The 410-unit building delivers "quintessential Village living" with "everything you need" right outside your door.
