30 West 13th Street is a boutique loft cooperative in the heart of the Greenwich Village Historic District — a former turn-of-the-century loft building on the prime block between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, converted to a cooperative in 1978 and holding just 20 apartments across six floors. What sets it apart from most Village co-ops is scale and flexibility: these are full-floor and floor-through loft residences, many running 1,200 to 3,400 square feet, and the board's policies are accommodating. Pets, pied-à-terre use, subletting, guarantors, and co-purchasing are all permitted with board approval — a combination that is rare in a self-managed pre-war co-op.
The building's keyed elevator opens directly into the apartments, giving each residence a townhouse-like sense of privacy. Ceilings are high, windows oversized, and the loft character — exposed brick, hardwood floors, generous open volumes — is intact. Buyers looking for authentic Village loft space with the ownership economics of a co-op rather than the price premium of a condo consistently gravitate here.
Architecture and unit composition
Built in 1900 as a loft/warehouse structure, the six-story building carries only 20 residences. Apartments are lettered A through D per floor, with penthouse units at the top. Layouts are loft-scale: what a broker might call a one-bedroom here typically runs 1,200 to 1,400 square feet, with larger residences reaching 2,100 to 3,400 square feet.
Recent sales illustrate the range: 4C traded at $3.625M (November 2025), 5C at $1.645M (April 2025), PH6A at $3.85M (2022), and PHC at $4.35M (2020). Recent pricing has averaged in the neighborhood of $1,720 per square foot — strong for a self-service boutique co-op, reflecting the loft scale, the Historic District address, and the flexible house rules.
Building operations
30 West 13th Street is a self-service boutique co-op — there is no doorman and no gym. Instead the building offers a keyed elevator opening into units, video intercom entry, a bike room, private locked basement storage assigned to each owner, and a rooftop terrace. In-unit washer/dryer and central air are permitted. The building is professionally managed. Carrying costs are modest for the scale of space, and the 20% minimum down payment is standard for the co-op market.

Recent sales
The building trades as a rare-inventory Village loft co-op: with only 20 units, apartments come to market infrequently, and the combination of loft scale, Historic District location, and flexible board policy supports pricing at the upper end of the co-op range — recent averages near $1,720 per square foot. The self-service model keeps monthly maintenance in check relative to full-service peers.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00576-0022) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
The board is unusually flexible for a co-op. Pets, pied-à-terre use, subletting, guarantors, and co-purchasing are all permitted with board approval — verify the current specifics at offer stage.
These are lofts, not conventional apartments. Square footage and open volume are the value here; evaluate layouts on loft terms, not room-count terms.
Standard co-op down payment applies. Plan for 20% minimum down and a board package and interview.
Confirm reserve health. As a small self-managed building, review the financials, reserve fund, and any planned capital work carefully.
What to know if you’re selling
Rarity is your leverage. With only 20 units, comparable sales are thin and each listing draws focused attention — price and position it precisely.
Market the flexibility. The board's accommodating stance on pets, pied-à-terre, and subletting genuinely widens the buyer pool for a co-op.
Loft scale sells. Lead with square footage, ceiling height, and the keyed-elevator privacy.
