It is incontrovertible that this is one of the most coveted blocks in NYC. And the math maths: why rent in this crazy rental climate when you can spend this money for your own home? The apartment is on the top floor. It is sunny. The ceilings are high, the kitchen has a window, the bathroom has a window, and the two large south-facing windows in the back look out onto quiet rather than chaos. I want to be clear that none of this should be taken for granted. What You Get: A top-floor perch that faces south, with two large windows and the kind of quiet that makes you wonder if the city has finally given up — it hasn't, but you won't hear it A bedroom that fits a full or queen, flanked by two windows, which is two more windows than most bedrooms in New York deserve An open kitchen — windowed, as previously noted, because apparently someone here believed in natural light and cross-ventilation Two hall closets, which in this city constitutes what lawyers call "ample storage" and what I call "a minor miracle" A windowed bath, which I refuse to take for granted The Practicalities (Since You Asked): Washer/dryer allowed with a plan and board approval Pets welcome — the building is not prejudiced against dogs and cats. Sublets permitted after one year (three out of every five) Pied-à-terre friendly Monthly maintenance is low. The Building: 88 Charles is a five-story landmarked brick brownstone, built circa 1880, part of the 84–88 Charles Street Owners Corp — a 45-unit cooperative that has managed, against considerable odds, to remain exactly what it should be: handsome, quiet, and unbothered. Twenty apartments across five stories. No concierge, no gym, no "amenity floor." You are an adult. You don't need all that. The Block: I have walked most blocks in Manhattan. Some of them are fine. Charles Street, between Greenwich and Hudson, is not fine — it is correct. It is what a street in this city is supposed to look like: tree-lined, brownstoned, historically intact, and entirely free of the kind of development that makes you feel the city has given up on itself. The Hudson River is nearby. Washington Square Park is nearby. Every subway you could possibly need is nearby. The restaurants are excellent. I won't list them. You live in New York — go find them. A Brief History, Because Context Matters: The street was named for Charles Christopher Amos, who owned the land the street passed through and who is also responsible for Christopher Street and the former Amos Street (now West 10th). Between 1866 and 1936, the precise block where 88 Charles sits was called Van Ness Place, named for a farming family who occupied that square block until 1865. The city renamed it. The city is always renaming things. At least this one stuck. ***PLEASE NOTE SOME PICS, THE DOG(Go Knicks!), THE WHITE ROOMS, WERE EDITED/VIRTUAL*** Start your next beautiful New York chapter right here, right now. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 1 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 3 - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1900 - **Monthly Taxes**: $1,060 / mo - **Listed On**: May 22, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 108 Days ### Residence Features - Building Washer Dryer Install Allowed - High Ceilings ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 11 apartments at 88 Charles Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $640,000 in July 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at 88 Charles Street is $773,750, based on 6 sales between June 2022 and May 2026. This home is asking $640,000, $133,750 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $685,000 and $879,375. - **Median closed price**: $773,750 - **Middle half**: $685,000 – $879,375 - **Based on**: 6 one-bedroom sales at 88 Charles Street - **Period**: June 2022 – May 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 0 of these 6 sales (0%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.8% of what it originally asked. 60% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.8% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 60% of 5 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 72 days (about 10 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 44 days (about 6 weeks) Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.8% of what it originally asked. 60% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 72 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 44 days (about 6 weeks), based on the 4 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 6 one-bedroom sales at 88 Charles Street, June 2022 – May 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op one-bedroom sales in West Village, 2017 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $975,000 | 38 | | 2018 | $899,000 | 39 | | 2019 | $867,500 | 46 | | 2020 | $940,000 | 29 | | 2021 | $950,000 | 71 | | 2022 | $1,070,000 | 59 | | 2023 | $1,100,000 | 51 | | 2024 | $1,117,500 | 36 | | 2025 | $1,065,000 | 39 | | 2026 | $1,062,500 | 23 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across West Village instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
