178 E 2Nd St

A six-story prewar condominium built in 1904, this intimate East Village building is composed primarily of one-bedroom homes with occasional studios and two-bedroom layouts. It presents classic prewar details—high ceilings, hardwood floors, and large multi-pane windows—paired with periodic renovations in kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas. Shared spaces are modest but well maintained: a renovated lobby and hallways, an on-site laundry room, basement storage lockers and a bike room, plus a furnished common roof deck with wide city views. Building services include a live-in superintendent and smoke-free policies. Exterior features include a small private outdoor space option for select units and rooftop access. Resident conveniences emphasize urban living—secure bike storage, additional private storage by availability, and bundled basic cable/internet in some maintenance charges. Located steps from Tompkins Square Park and framed by the restaurants, shops and transit nodes of the East Village and Lower East Side, the building supports a lively, walkable neighborhood lifestyle while retaining a compact, community-oriented scale.
