What is the Village Pointe Condominium building like?
The Village Pointe is a boutique condominium with just about 50 residential units. Located at the entry point to the fantastic Meatpacking District Neighborhood in New York City. It's address is 350 West 14th Street, essentially located where Ninth Avenue turns into Hudson Street on 14th Street. The Village Pointe does not have a no-doorma, however it has an elevator, live-in super and laundry facilities in the basement. What I consider very low common charge and real estate taxes make owning a unit in the building a very smart investment. The building is mainly made up of studio's and one bedroom apartments with a few larger combination units and duplex apartments with outdoor terraces on the top floor. Some of the southern facing units on the 5th, 6th, 7th, floors have outdoor balcony's which is a very unique feature. Apartments have very efficient floorplans, with very little wasted space. Converted into condominiums in the late 1980s the Village Pointe Condominium at 350 West 14th Street is without a doubt one of the most well positioned and established condominiums in the highly regarded Meatpacking District Neighborhood of New York City.
