[Photography by Chris and Michelle Gerard] In just a few years, West Village went from pleasantly desirable to downright trendy. It has its own independent coffee joint, an organic grocer, a record store, and is scheduled to see the opening of a pie shop. Even so, one of the neighborhood's most stately and centrally-located apartment buildings can still be bought for the price of asuburban McMansion. Built in 1924 on the corner of Agnes and Van Dyke, the Van Dyke Apartments overlook many of the aforementioned businesses. The building contains 8 one-bedroom and 8 two-bedroom apartments; those in front come with fireplaces and great windows.   11/10/2014
