166 W 22Nd St

A six-story, 1930s cooperative in Chelsea, the building is a Depression/Art Deco–era midrise that houses mostly studio residences. The exterior presents period masonry and simplified Deco detailing; interiors frequently retain prewar elements such as crown molding, hardwood floors, arched openings and original hardware. Typical units feature an entrance foyer that can double as a home office, windowed kitchens and bathrooms, generous closet and storage options, and alcove sleeping areas or defined dressing rooms created within studio footprints. Shared amenities are intimate and practical: a planted courtyard/garden, basement laundry, bike storage, rentable private storage rooms, and a live-in superintendent. A passenger elevator serves the building and mail/central services are modest; the co-op’s governance allows pets, pieds-à-terre, parental purchases and limited subletting under board rules. Located in central Chelsea near the High Line, Penn Station and multiple subway lines, the property offers a compact urban lifestyle with low monthly maintenance, neighborhood grocery and dining options within easy walking distance.
