290 6Th Ave

A six-story, 12-unit prewar cooperative built in 1941, this red-brick Village building retains period architecture and residential scale typical of Greenwich Village low-rises. The exterior is set back behind a wrought-iron fence with planted gardens and a gated entry that leads to a classically detailed lobby and elevator. Units range from studios to multi-bedroom apartments and show recurring prewar character: arched openings, crown moldings, plaster details, sunken living rooms, hardwood floors and generous built-ins. Common areas and resident services are straightforward and practical: a live-in superintendent, elevator, laundry room, bicycle storage and rentable private storage bins. The property also maintains a shared courtyard and small garden area for residents. Kitchens and bathrooms in many units have been updated over time while preserving original architectural elements such as windowed baths and decorative moldings. Building policies are cooperative in nature with primary-residence requirements and case-by-case board approvals; pets are commonly permitted and the co-op historically allows washer/dryer installations with board sign-off. Located on a tree-lined stretch of Sixth Avenue opposite Father Demo Square and steps from Washington Square Park, the building offers immediate pedestrian access to neighborhood dining, cultural venues and multiple subway lines (including the West 4th station). Its combination of modest scale, prewar detailing and basic amenity set positions it as a quietly maintained, character-rich co-op in a high-demand urban neighborhood.
