Homes
in Greenwich Village.

These numbers cover Greenwich Village apart from the West Village, which is counted on its own: 21,491 homes in 854 residential buildings. Elevator apartment buildings hold 47 percent of the homes, condominiums 18 percent and walk-ups another 18 percent, while co-ops account for 27 percent. The housing is old. Three in five homes are in buildings from before 1940, the median year built is 1929, and only 3 percent of the housing dates from 2000 or later. That stock takes in the row houses on Washington Square North and the side streets west of Fifth Avenue along with the former stables of Washington Mews and MacDougal Alley, while apartment houses line lower Fifth Avenue and University Place.

Two in three homes here are in elevator buildings or condominiums, and the median home sits in an 11 floor building, so most pickups pass through a lobby and a service elevator with its own hours. Elevators in older buildings can be small inside, which makes the rug's length the first thing to give us. The row houses and walk-ups, close to a fifth of homes, mean a stoop outside and a narrow stair within. Put the floor and the elevator hours in the building access notes, and we plan the carry around them.
