550 Grand St

A mid-century cooperative set on the Lower East Side, this 12-story, 1949-built property contains roughly 65 residences ranging from one- to three-bedroom plans. The masonry-backed structure shows period details inside many units — beamed ceilings, parquet or hardwood floors, sizable entry foyers and walk-in closets — alongside windowed kitchens and baths that emphasize daylight. Common areas include two private gated parks and landscaped courtyard gardens with seating and playgrounds, a residents’ fitness room, on-site laundry facilities and 24-hour attended security. On-site management and maintenance staff handle day-to-day needs; indoor garage parking and bike storage are available (waitlists and fees apply). The co-op’s pet policy allows dogs up to 35 pounds with registration, and it permits flexible ownership arrangements such as co-purchasing, pied-à-terre, gifting and guarantors, with an accessible board application process. Located near Delancey/Essex subway access and a short walk to Essex Crossing, the building offers a blend of apartment-level character and community-oriented shared outdoor space suited to urban family life.
