A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 25 Minetta Lane would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
25 Minetta Lane occupies an irregular site left by the Sixth Avenue improvement projects. H. I. Feldman designed the apartment house in 1939–1940 for Belkind Realty Corp., using Colonial Revival details on a substantial brick building. Its main entrance faces west toward Sixth Avenue, with Minetta Green between the building and the avenue.
The setting gives it two distinct street identities: the narrow Minetta Lane and Minetta Street edges, and the open space beside the avenue-facing entrance. A gated planted approach separates the door from the sidewalk. West 4th Street subway service and Washington Square Park are nearby.
The cooperative combines that prewar setting with a common roof deck and a largely compact apartment inventory. Studios and one-bedroom homes are joined by larger combined apartments. The building has been part of the South Village Historic District since 2013.
Architecture and unit composition
LPC identifies rusticated brickwork at the ground floor, terra-cotta stringcourses and a stone entrance surround with fluted pilasters. Paired and triple windows have flared brick lintels and cast keystones. A pediment with an oculus and decorative swag adds emphasis above the regular apartment façade.
The irregular parcel creates different orientations around the building. Windows can face the Minetta streets, the avenue-side open space or interior areas. Upper apartments have a different relationship to surrounding rooflines from the lower homes beside the garden and park.
Interiors include entry foyers, windowed kitchens and bathrooms, and hardwood floors. Some plans retain separate dining or eat-in kitchen space. The smaller apartments include studios and compact one-bedroom layouts, while combinations have produced homes with substantially more floor area.
The roof deck is a shared facility, separate from the private outdoor space associated with certain upper-level residences. Planting and seating make the roof usable as common outdoor space without requiring a terrace apartment.
Building operations
The cooperative has a resident superintendent and common laundry. Bicycle storage and rentable private storage are available, and the entrance uses video intercom access. Package lockers support deliveries without a full-time doorman.
The historic-district designation places the exterior under LPC review. Its protected architectural features include the brickwork, entrance treatment, window surrounds and decorative roofline. The garden-facing entrance and the building's relationship to Minetta Green are also part of its physical setting.
The building's current R7-2 zoning allows a stated residential FAR of 3.44, below the existing 4.88. The established building is therefore denser than the current residential allowance. DOF identifies no building-wide abatement, and the cooperative is assessed in tax Class 2.

Pets: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent. Pied-à-terre ownership: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent. Subletting: Permitted, subject to the cooperative's rules — confirm with the managing agent. Financing: Up to 80% — confirm with the managing agent.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00542-0011) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

At the recent median sale of $850K (4 transfers since 2024), a buyer putting 25% down would pay about $11,738 to close, or 1.4% of the price.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
