West Village Houses, Residential complex in West Village, Manhattan, US
The West Village Houses comprise 42 walk-up buildings containing 420 apartments spread across several blocks between Morton Street and Bank Street.
The construction of these residential buildings began in 1972 after community members opposed Mayor Robert Wagner's 1961 plan for high-rise housing structures.
The development reflects Jane Jacobs' architectural principles of maintaining neighborhoods at a human scale, incorporating lower buildings that preserve community connections.
Residents gained the opportunity to purchase their units at reduced prices in 2006, with a twelve-year tax reduction program supported by the Bloomberg administration.
The West Village Houses marked the first Mitchell-Lama property in New York to transition to market rate cooperatives, completing this transformation in June 2020.
