A mid-century, 21-story cooperative built in 1955, the East River co-op comprises primarily one- and two-bedroom residences arranged in conventional elevator-served floors. Facades are practical rather than ornamental; many units benefit from generous banks of windows and private balconies or small terraces that capture river, bridge and skyline views. Interior unit characteristics commonly include eat-in kitchens, dedicated dining areas or foyers, plentiful closet storage and parquet or hardwood flooring, with selective renovations showing modernized kitchens and baths. Shared amenities emphasize family-friendly and active living: two private landscaped parks/playgrounds, a community room, children’s playroom, an on-site fitness center, in-building laundry, and secure 24-hour attended lobbies. Building operations include routine services such as snow removal and landscaping; some services and facilities use wait lists or additional fees. The co-op allows co-purchasing, gifting and guarantors, and typically permits subletting after two years; pet policy excludes dogs but allows cats. Located on the Lower East Side adjacent to East River Park, the property sits within easy walking distance of multiple bus routes, nearby subway lines (Delancey/Essex and East Broadway), ferry access, and retail destinations at Essex Crossing.
