417 Grand St

A mid-century, 20-story cooperative completed in 1960, this multi-building complex on the Lower East Side offers primarily one- and two-bedroom residences arranged around landscaped communal spaces. The architecture favors angled towers and corner exposures intended to maximize daylight and cross-ventilation; many units feature double exposures, large walls of windows, and private balconies or terraces. Interiors commonly include eat-in kitchens with windows, recessed lighting, hardwood or parquet floors, generous closets and storage, and some renovated apartments with modern stone counters and stainless steel appliances. Shared facilities emphasize day-to-day convenience and family life: a staffed 24/7 doorman lobby, on-site management and maintenance, a fully equipped gym, in-building laundry, dedicated bike and storage rooms, and community spaces such as a multipurpose room and shared work-space. Outdoors, residents have access to two gated private parks, playgrounds, planted courtyards and community garden/composting areas. Parking and additional storage are available on site. The coop is pet-friendly with registration/board approval, permits gifting, co-purchasing and guarantors, and allows in-unit washers/dryers and subletting subject to board rules. Located steps from major retail anchors, cultural venues and multiple subway lines (F, J, M, Z and others), the complex sits within a highly walkable, transit-rich neighborhood with immediate access to shops, markets and restaurants.
