534 Hudson Street — The Kimberley — is a boutique 1998 condominium in the heart of the West Village, on Hudson Street between Charles and West 10th. Built ground-up around a landscaped interior courtyard, it offers something the surrounding townhouse blocks rarely do: relatively contemporary, low-maintenance condominium apartments — many with fireplaces, washer/dryers, and private outdoor space — in a small, staffed building, on one of the most charming stretches of the West Village. The site has its own bit of New York lore, having previously been the taxi garage featured in the television series Taxi.
The location is quintessential West Village: a short walk from the Hudson River waterfront and Hudson River Park, the West Village's restaurant-and-shopping fabric, Bleecker Street, and the quiet, tree-lined residential streets that make the neighborhood one of Manhattan's most sought-after.
Architecture and unit composition
Completed in 1998, 534 Hudson Street is a seven-story boutique condominium of 22 residences, organized around a landscaped interior courtyard that gives many apartments a quiet, garden-facing aspect uncommon on a busy avenue. The apartments run from roughly 880-square-foot two-bedrooms up to large combined and penthouse-scale layouts, and many feature fireplaces, in-unit washer/dryers, and private terraces or balconies — the kind of contemporary, turn-key features that older West Village stock often lacks.
Building operations
534 Hudson Street operates as a boutique full-service condominium with door staff, an elevator, a landscaped courtyard/garden, and private storage. As a condominium, monthly common charges cover building operations and staff, with real-estate taxes billed separately to each unit. The building is pet-friendly — both cats and dogs are permitted, with a limit of one pet per apartment.
Because this is a small condominium, each owner's share of building costs and reserves is proportionally larger than in a big building. Buyers should review the offering plan, current financials, board minutes, and any reserve study during due diligence — standard practice for a boutique condominium.
Recent sales
534 Hudson Street trades as a condominium, so pricing is read on a price-per-square-foot basis. Pricing is driven by size, floor, courtyard versus street exposure, private outdoor space, fireplace, and renovation level. With only 22 units and varied layouts — from two-bedrooms to penthouse-scale combinations — sales are genuinely apartment-specific, and the most reliable pricing evidence is the building's own trade history adjusted for size, outdoor space, and condition rather than a neighborhood average.

What to know if you’re buying
You're buying turn-key in the West Village. Contemporary condominium apartments with fireplaces, washer/dryers, and outdoor space, around a landscaped courtyard, in a prime West Village location.
Condo flexibility is real. 30–45 day closings; pied-à-terre, investor, and foreign-buyer use permitted; subletting allowed under the declaration.
Pets are welcome. Both cats and dogs are permitted, one pet per apartment.
It's a boutique building. Door staff, an elevator, and a garden courtyard — not a full amenity tower. Many West Village buyers prefer that scale.
Outdoor space and courtyard exposure drive value. Terraces and the garden-facing aspect are key differentiators; evaluate them unit by unit.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the West Village location and the turn-key features. Fireplaces, washer/dryers, private outdoor space, and the courtyard are the headline selling points against older walk-up stock nearby.
Price to the building's own comps. With 22 heterogeneous units, the persuasive evidence is 534 Hudson's recent trades adjusted for size, outdoor space, exposure, and condition.
Show the courtyard. The landscaped interior garden is a genuine differentiator on a busy avenue — photograph and stage to it.
