A historic gem in the heart of Greenwich Village

The Albert, a 12-story Beaux-Arts condominium, stands as a testament to Greenwich Village's rich architectural heritage. Completed in 1923, this pre-war building houses 205 units, offering residents a blend of historic charm and modern living. Located on East 10th Street, The Albert is situated on one of the neighborhood's most idyllic tree-lined blocks. The building's storied past includes notable residents such as Bob Dylan and Salvador Dali, contributing to its cultural significance and eventual listing on the US National Register of Historic Places in 2012.

Diverse layouts catering to various lifestyles

The Albert offers a range of living spaces, from cozy studios to spacious 4-bedroom apartments. Studios, spanning 498 to 600 square feet, provide efficient living with the option of a bathroom. One-bedroom units, ranging from 550 to 959 square feet, feature one to two bathrooms and are priced between $800,000 and $949,000. These apartments often boast high ceilings, large windows, and pre-war details like exposed brick and archways. Two-bedroom layouts, measuring 1,175 to 1,200 square feet, offer versatile living arrangements with up to two bathrooms. These units typically rent for around $5,500 per month. For those seeking more space, three-bedroom apartments span 1,800 to 2,000 square feet, with up to two and a half bathrooms, providing ample room for families or those who desire extra space.
