264 E Broadway

A mid-century cooperative tower on the Lower East Side, completed in 1959, the building rises roughly 20 stories and contains a small number of large residential units — primarily two-bedroom layouts and occasional one-bedroom combinations — spread across just 16 total apartments. The exterior reads as a mid‑century residential block set back from the street with landscaped, gated green spaces and two private parks/playgrounds that frame the property; many units include private balconies or other modest outdoor spaces. Interiors reflect a mix of renovated and original-condition homes: common features include defined entrance foyers, eat‑in kitchens, sizable living rooms with multiple exposures and generous closet capacity. On-site services and shared areas are comprehensive for a coop of this scale, with a staffed 24‑hour lobby, management and maintenance offices, a fully equipped fitness center, community room and indoor children’s playroom, laundry facilities, bike and storage rooms, and parking (waitlist). The co-op’s policies are flexible relative to many peers: subletting, gifting, co‑purchasing and pets are allowed subject to board approval, and washers/dryers are permitted with co-op signoff. Located steps from multiple subway lines and adjacent to the mixed-use development at Essex Crossing, the building combines robust amenities and secure, gated outdoor areas with the active retail and dining corridors of the Lower East Side.
