Building Information 88 Charles Street is a lovely 5-story landmarked brick brownstone built circa 1880 as part of the two-building, 45-unit 84-88 Charles Street Owners Corp.

Location & Neighborhood Located on one of the most idyllic blocks in not only the coveted West Village but all of Manhattan, 88 Charles Street offers an unparalleled living experience in one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods. • Tree-lined, historic streets with charming brownstones • World-class dining, cafes, and boutique shopping • Hudson River Park and waterfront access nearby • Proximity to multiple subway lines (1, 2, 3, A, C, E) • Cultural landmarks including Washington Square Park and the Meatpacking District. • Safe, vibrant community atmosphere Charles Street — The Name The street was named after Charles Christopher Amos, who owned the parcel the street passed through. Amos is also the namesake of Christopher Street, two blocks to the south, and the former Amos Street, which is now West 10th Street. A Quirky Street Geography From 1866 to 1936, the section of Charles Street between Bleecker Street and West 4th Street — right where 88 Charles sits — was actually called Van Ness Place, named after a farm owned by the Van Ness family that had occupied that square block until 1865. One has to wonder, is this the one?
