Thoughts on 150 West 15th being listed as West Village? (http://www.corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&ListingID=2486157)
This block is technically in teh corner, but imo, that block is actually more (upper) wvill than chel. lines of neighborhoods switch all the times, and things on the fringes are often changing. Sure, 14th st is a big barrier, but not many people think of Chelsea when they think 15th 6-7th.
Could be an evil act of deceit and lies though...
"but not many people think of Chelsea when they think 15th 6-7th."
You must be talking about people in Boston.
New Yorkers most certainly DO know that 15th Street is in Chelsea.
I've got to go with Matt on this one. I would never think of west 15th as the west village, it's Chelsea, and this, to me, isn't even prime Chelsea, although its extremely convenient to much that is considered prime.
How about the "Gramercy" Starck building on 23rd and 1st ave.
The bonus is you get keys to Stuyvesant Square.
Starck building is TOTALLY overpriced at that location
Who cares what the broker says. Take nothing at face value.
Buy a map, hire your own team .. 8400 sq ft .. Pretend you are from Missouri.
$17mm
This gives me the opportunity to bring up once again the grotesque portrait in the lobby of the starck building. I guess some might be able to ignore it with time, but I can't imagine having to come home to that every day. It's gag-worthy.
Northern boundary of the Village: West, East or Central doesn't matter, is 14th Street. Period dead and final. I don't get this one, its not like Chelsea is a second-rate neighborhood.
If you are on 14th street, that isn't the village either.
Yeah, what NR said. Chelsea is now a "good" neighborhood.
"but not many people think of Chelsea when they think 15th 6-7th."

Upon 2nd look, I wil admit that I was wrong. I guess that is Chelsea. I just think of the 20s and further West, more galleries and West Chelsea. Maybe by boundary its "Chelsea", but its also just as much union square too...
Apparently the West Village and Chelsea have crossroads, and 150 West 15th Street is perfectly situated at them.
The West Village designation, along with the fancifully preposterous prose in the house's description, make me think the paid scribe of that work of fiction is a very very bad writer indeed.
Extraordinarily memorable.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think technically the way the neighborhood boundaries work is that the south side of a dividing street is in one neighborhood, and the north is in the other. Although 14th street seems to be in a class of its own.
That floorplan is kind of strange. I sort of like it because I value kitchen space, but it has relatively little real formal living space for a place of its size and cost, and with its number of bedrooms. the great room is listed as being 35 feet, but that seems to include the butler's pantry and the stairs, and the foyer seems to me to be mostly useless space.
"Maybe by boundary its "Chelsea", but its also just as much union square too..."
What??
Seventh and 15th in Chelsea is about as far from being "just as much Union Square" as it is "just as much" being Herald Square.
"The West Village designation, along with the fancifully preposterous prose in the house's description, make me think the paid scribe of that work of fiction is a very very bad writer indeed."
That paid scribe is also apparently not from NYC, if s/he thinks that a West Village designation is more desirable than Chelsea.
Yes, Matt, that is my point. That if its can be Chelsea, might as well call it Un Sq (more 6th, I do not know the exact location on block)
There is still a lack of transparency that benefits only the real estate community at the expense of people who are trying to find a decent long term place to live.
