About this Building

Constructed in 1941, 290 E 6th Street is a handsome 6-story pre-war cooperative building nestled in the vibrant East Village neighborhood of Manhattan. The elevator building contains 65 units, ranging from cozy 880-square-foot one-bedrooms to spacious 1,400-square-foot three-bedroom residences. A gated entryway leads into the building's gorgeous classic pre-war lobby, setting the tone for the old New York charm that permeates throughout. With a live-in superintendent to handle maintenance needs, a central laundry room for convenience, and additional private storage bins available for rent, 290 E 6th Street offers residents a comfortable and well-maintained living experience.

The apartments at 290 E 6th Street feature flexible layouts to suit various lifestyles, with most units having been recently renovated while still retaining charming pre-war details like arched doorways and sunken living rooms. One-bedroom units start at approximately 880 square feet, with sale prices beginning around $750,000. The building's two-bedroom offerings are ideal for small families or those who require a home office, with prices ranging from $1.2M to $1.8M. On the larger end, three-bedroom units span up to 1,400 square feet and are priced up to $2.5M. Many residences boast double exposures, filling the apartments with natural light, and some are blessed with private outdoor space. Kitchens have been modernized with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and custom cabinetry. Spa-like bathrooms are finished with elegant tilework and fixtures.

In addition to a 24-hour live-in super to promptly address any issues that may arise, 290 E 6th Street provides residents with several amenities for a comfortable lifestyle. A central laundry room streamlines a tedious chore, while extra storage bins can be rented to accommodate any overflow from your apartment. The building is also pet-friendly, so your furry companions can enjoy the space alongside you. Topping it all off is the common rooftop terrace, a coveted amenity in the East Village. Residents can take in stunning city views while relaxing or hosting guests in the open air. Bicycle storage is also available, perfect for those who prefer to traverse the city on two wheels.

The East Village is a dynamic enclave known for its rich history, vibrant arts scene, and eclectic dining options. 290 E 6th Street is surrounded by a mix of fellow pre-war co-ops, townhouses, and charming tenement buildings on tree-lined streets. Just around the corner on 2nd Avenue, you'll find a variety of restaurants and bars that cater to every craving, from classic Ukrainian comfort food to lively Mexican fare. Tompkins Square Park is only a few blocks away, a popular gathering spot with a dog run, playgrounds, chess tables, and ample space to relax or people-watch. The park frequently hosts events like the outdoor drag festival Wigstock and regular farmers markets. For an escape from the city concrete, take a stroll along the East River Park, which stretches from 12th Street down to Montgomery Street.

290 E 6th Street benefits from excellent transportation options, with the F train at the 2nd Avenue station just a 5-minute walk away. The legendary St. Marks Place is one block north, where you can catch the M8 bus or walk 10 minutes to reach the 6 train at Astor Place. 14th Street is a major thoroughfare only a half-mile north, served by the L train at 1st Avenue and multiple bus lines. Alphabet City to the east is served by the M9 and M14D buses. Cyclists will appreciate the protected bike lanes along 1st and 2nd Avenues, as well as the East River Greenway. Getting around the city is a breeze from this accessible location.
