196 6th Ave Corporation

196 6th Ave Corporation occupies a stretch of Sixth Avenue that feels worlds away from the usual Midtown bustle. This six-story condominium complex sits just south of the Chelsea border, where the rhythm slows to a neighborhood pace without losing the pulse of the city. Its address—196 6th Ave New York, NY 10013—places it within a block of the 14th Street–Sixth Avenue subway stop, making the subway lines as close as the front door. The building is a residential condominium, one of several along this corridor that blend into the architectural mix without demanding attention. The exterior is understated, typical of 1960s design, but the lobby’s marble lobby is common knowledge and speaks to its era’s solid build. Residents here choose it for quiet corridors and the chance to live above sidewalk cafés rather than in their shadow. Questions about move-ins or building rules land at the management desk, and the same line can settle them. Call (718) 788-6500 for answers; it’s routed to the on-site manager who fields maintenance calls and apartment tours alike. Directions are easiest when pinned online first.

The map shows exactly how Sixth Avenue stretches ahead, where the bus stops cluster, and why the corner feels so convenient for anyone who needs to be anywhere quickly.
