A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 3 Weehawken Street 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.
3 Weehawken Street occupies one of the most unusual pieces of ground in Manhattan: Weehawken Street is among the shortest streets in the borough, a single narrow block tucked between Christopher Street and West 10th Street at the far western edge of the West Village. The building rose in 1876–1877 from a design by Mortimer C. Merritt, originally serving the industrial and brewing activity that once defined this stretch near the waterfront. Its Italianate facade, with arched windows and cast-iron lintels and sills, still reads as a survivor from that nineteenth-century working river district.
What makes the address matter today is the combination of scale and setting. Converted to a condominium in 2005, the building holds just 20 residences across five walk-up floors, most of them studios and one-bedrooms with exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, and river views from the upper floors. When the surrounding blocks were designated the Weehawken Street Historic District in 2006, the building's character was locked in — a small, low-rise, deeded-ownership building on a protected street a half-block from Hudson River Park.
Building operations
3 Weehawken Street runs as a small, self-managed walk-up condominium without a full-time doorman — appropriate to a 20-unit building of this scale. Buyers should expect a boutique, low-overhead operating model rather than a full-service amenity package.
Ownership here is deeded. There is no board interview in the cooperative sense; the condominium's review of a purchaser is procedural rather than substantive. Lender financing is available on standard condominium terms, and pied-à-terre, investment, and sublet use are permitted under the bylaws. Pet policy is generally accommodating; the specific transfer-fee, alteration, and sublet terms should be confirmed against current building materials at offer stage.
Architecture and residences
The building presents as a five-story brick structure whose ground-floor masonry was reworked in 1928 while the upper facade retained its 1870s Italianate detailing. Inside, the residences are compact and character-forward rather than large — the trade a buyer makes for a genuinely historic, deeded home on a landmarked micro-street. Layouts run to studios and one-bedrooms, generally two apartments per floor, with the period features (brick, beams, working fireplaces in many units) that distinguish a nineteenth-century conversion from newer inventory. Upper-floor units capture Hudson River and Christopher Street Pier exposures.
Because this is a conversion of a small historic building, individual apartments vary meaningfully in size, condition, and light. Underwriting is done unit by unit rather than off a building-wide average.
The Weehawken Street block
Weehawken Street is a curiosity even to longtime Villagers — a one-block lane that most people walk past without noticing. That obscurity is the appeal. The building sits within the Weehawken Street Historic District, steps from the Hudson River waterfront, Christopher Street Pier, and the greenway, while the shops, restaurants, and transit of the West Village and Greenwich Village sit immediately to the east. It is one of the quietest residential pockets in a neighborhood not otherwise known for quiet.

As a condominium, 3 Weehawken Street trades on a per-square-foot basis. This is a boutique, thin-resale building — with only 20 units, closings are infrequent and a single sale can reset the reference points for the whole building. Pricing is best approached through per-unit underwriting: floor, exposure, fireplace, river view, and renovation condition drive value more than any building-wide average, given how much individual apartments differ.

Market read. Most recent trades (2023) cleared a median $1,014/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 0.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Buying here follows the condominium path — procedural approval, standard financing, and use flexibility under the bylaws. The reasons to buy are specific: a genuinely historic, landmarked, deeded home on one of Manhattan's shortest and quietest streets, a half-block from the Hudson River, at a scale and price point that the West Village's newer luxury inventory does not offer. Buyers prioritizing period character, waterfront proximity, and a boutique building over amenities and square footage are the natural fit. Confirm the specific unit's condition, fireplace status, and any pending building work during due diligence.
What to know if you’re selling
The story sells itself: a nineteenth-century building on a landmarked micro-street a half-block from the river, with fireplaces and river views. Pricing should be apartment-specific — floor, exposure, view, and renovation level — rather than pegged to a building average, because the units differ so much. Positioning should reach the buyer who wants West Village history and location at a boutique scale, and who values the deeded, low-overhead ownership model.

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.
