385 Grand St

A mid-century, 20-story cooperative built in 1960 located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The property comprises one- to three-bedroom layouts and a range of studio and multi-bedroom apartment combinations, many featuring windowed eat-in kitchens, abundant closet and storage space, and parquet or hardwood floors. Interior characteristics commonly reported include galley and open kitchens, primary bathrooms with updated tile, walk-in closets, and some units with first-floor bedrooms or foyers. Exterior and site features emphasize shared green space: two gated private parks, landscaped courtyards and community gardens with playgrounds and seating, plus private balconies or small outdoor spaces on select units. Building systems and services include full-time lobby/concierge staff, on-site management and maintenance, an elevator bank servicing all floors, a fitness center, children’s playroom, community/event room and laundry facilities. Additional resident conveniences are bike storage, supplemental storage rooms, limited on-site parking for rent and a provision for in-building trash/composting. The co-op’s policies are flexible by NYC co-op standards: pet ownership with registration, subletting with board approval after an initial ownership period, guarantors and co-purchasing are allowed; some alterations (e.g., washer/dryer installations) require approval. Located steps from the Delancey/Essex corridor and multiple subway lines (F, J, M, Z and nearby bus routes), the building sits amid shops, markets (including nearby Trader Joe’s and Essex Market), theaters and dining destinations, offering an urban lifestyle with stronger-than-average communal outdoor amenities for the neighborhood.
