NOT-SO-WILD WEST? "These folks lived in the Jensen Lewis building [on Sixth Avenue and 15th Street], but they wanted the West Village," said broker Alexander de Bordes of Eychner Associates of his clients, who bought this full-floor condo in January. The apartment, with its "flexible floor plan" (i.e., you have to put in the walls yourself), is in a new condo development on the West Side Highway and seems far from the noise and foot traffic of Chelsea. It has Hudson River views and easy access to the waterfront esplanade, which has helped make the neighborhood increasingly dignified and increasingly popular. Still, said Mr. de Bordes, apartments in the impressive development–and everywhere–are taking some time to sell these days. "Things are selling close to asking," he said, "but it takes longer." This one took six months.
