788 9Th Ave

A five-story prewar walk-up constructed in 1920, this red-brick cooperative contains a small collection of mostly one-bedroom residences with classic period details. Units typically feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, decorative or wood-burning fireplaces, and windowed kitchens; many apartments have been renovated while retaining mouldings and other original touches. The building offers modest common conveniences including a video intercom and a basement laundry room, plus limited private outdoor options such as garden-level patios and roof rights for select units. There are about a dozen units total, creating an intimate, low-density living environment without an elevator. Policies are co-op governed: pied-à-terres, guarantors, gifting and subletting (subject to board approval/after one year in many cases) are permitted; cats are welcome while dogs are not. Located between West 52nd and 53rd Streets in Hell's Kitchen/Clinton, the building places residents within easy walking distance of Central Park, Lincoln Center, the Theater District, Times Square and multiple subway lines, emphasizing a lively, transit-rich urban lifestyle within a quieter prewar setting.
