210 West 19th Street is a boutique prewar Art Deco condominium in the heart of Chelsea, mid-block between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. Erected in 1939 and converted to a condominium in 1985, the six-story building carries the Art Deco vocabulary in full: a one-step-up entrance with narrow slit windows and small recessed lights, topped by a large entablature with circular motifs; a rusticated one-story base and second floor; a geometric entablature above the top floor; and two banks of white-painted curved fire escapes. Many apartments retain the building's signature architectural flourish — sunken living rooms with arched openings.
For buyers, the appeal is a low-rise, boutique building with authentic prewar character, in one of Manhattan's most walkable neighborhoods — a short stroll to the High Line, the Meatpacking District, the West Village, and Union Square — with the flexibility of condominium ownership. Several units have been combined into duplexes over the years, adding scale to the mix.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a six-story prewar Art Deco structure in beige brick, with its Deco detailing concentrated at the entrance surround, the base, and the roofline entablature. The curved fire escapes are a period signature. Inside, the sunken living rooms with arched openings distinguish many of the apartments; some units carry private gardens or patios and central air, and several have been combined into duplexes.
The condominium holds 69 residential units. As a boutique low-rise prewar condo, apartments come to market infrequently; buyers should evaluate on layout and prewar character. Pied-à-terre use is permitted and subletting is workable under the declaration.
Building operations
210 West 19th Street operates as a boutique prewar condominium with an elevator, a live-in resident manager/superintendent, central laundry, a bike room, resident storage, and video security. There is no doorman, no garage, no gym, and no roof deck — this is a self-service prewar building whose appeal is character and location rather than staffing. Buyers should review reserves and any capital plans appropriate to a 1939 building.
Recent sales
The building trades as a character-driven boutique Chelsea condominium — low-rise, prewar, Art Deco — with the sunken living rooms, combined duplexes, and prime mid-block location supporting demand. With only 69 units in a self-service building, inventory is limited and each listing draws focused interest.

What to know if you’re buying
The prewar character is the draw. Sunken living rooms, arched openings, and Art Deco detailing distinguish this building — evaluate on those terms.
Confirm the pet policy. Public sources conflict on pets; treat it as board/case-by-case and confirm directly at offer stage.
Condo flexibility applies. Pied-à-terre use and subletting are workable under the declaration.
Diligence the prewar systems. A 1939 building warrants review of reserves, mechanicals, and any planned capital work.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with architecture and location. The Art Deco detailing and the mid-block Chelsea address near the High Line are your strongest points.
Character units command attention. Sunken living rooms and combined duplexes differentiate the inventory.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
