165 Christopher St

A mid-20th-century, six-story cooperative constructed in 1964 and converted into a 214-unit co-op, this West Village residence offers primarily one- and two-bedroom apartment layouts. The building’s masonry façade and modest scale fit the neighborhood’s low-rise fabric; interiors often feature hardwood floors, recessed lighting, generous foyers, and built-in storage. Units range from studios and efficient one-bedrooms to spacious two-bedroom corners with multiple exposures, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, and sizeable walk-in closets. Common interior elements include formal dining areas, pantries, and thoughtfully arranged closets throughout. Shared spaces emphasize convenience and neighborhood living: a renovated lobby, part-time doorman (typical daytime-to-late-night hours), two elevators, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike room, and on-site garage. A landscaped interior courtyard and small garden provide private outdoor relief, while select apartments have private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet. The co-op board maintains liberal policies relative to many Manhattan cooperatives — permitting pets, pieds-à-terre, subletting, co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, and parents buying for children — and operates with historically low maintenance charges. Located at the corner of Christopher and Washington Streets, the building sits a block from Hudson River Park and within short walking distance of multiple subway lines, restaurants, boutiques, and waterfront recreation, supporting an active urban lifestyle.
