Accessed through a semi-private hallway, Unit 16 sits high above Houston. The large windows of the bright, open living and dining area offer amazing morning light while framing picturesque, tree-lined views that include the iconic Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, which shimmer at night. The cozy bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, quietly tucked away from the street for restful evenings. The windowed bathroom combines vintage appeal with modern convenience, featuring a classic clawfoot soaking tub and the rare luxury of in-unit laundry. High-ceilinged throughout, the kitchen is equipped with ceiling-height, glass-fronted cabinetry and essential appliances, including a dishwasher and gas range. Built-in cabinetry and bookcases offer smart storage throughout the unit, and additional lower-level storage lockers are available for $45/month. Pets are allowed upon approval. The building has no elevator, is Pied-à-Terre friendly, and subletting is permitted without restrictions after 2 years of new-owner occupancy. A true Lower East Side gem, this residence offers both charm and convenience in one of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhoods. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 1 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 3 - **Sqft**: 600 sqft - **Stories**: 6 - **Year Built**: 1900 - **Price per Sqft**: $917 - **Common Charges**: $1,274 / Monthly - **Listed On**: May 12, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 124 Days ### Residence Features - Window Unit(s) - In Unit - See Remarks - Building Storage - Building Roof Deck - Dryer - Washer ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales One apartment at 249 Eldridge Street has a recorded sale since September 2021, the most recent for $620,000 in January 2022. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 20 (Apartment) | 2 | $620,000 | January 21, 2022 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op one-bedroom sales in Lower East Side is $608,000, based on 49 sales between October 2024 and July 2026. This home is asking $550,000, $58,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $590,000 and $690,000. - **Median closed price**: $608,000 - **Middle half**: $590,000 – $690,000 - **Based on**: 49 co-op one-bedroom sales in Lower East Side - **Period**: October 2024 – July 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 49 sales (39%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 48 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.4% of what it originally asked. 58% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Lower East Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 98.4% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 58% of 48 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 78 days (about 11 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 96 days (about 14 weeks) Across the 48 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.4% of what it originally asked. 58% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 78 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 48 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 96 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 48 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 49 co-op one-bedroom sales in Lower East Side, October 2024 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op one-bedroom sales in Lower East Side, 2017 to 2025. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $640,000 | 29 | | 2018 | $642,000 | 24 | | 2019 | $599,000 | 25 | | 2020 | $639,500 | 24 | | 2021 | $630,000 | 39 | | 2022 | $615,000 | 42 | | 2023 | $622,500 | 24 | | 2024 | $615,000 | 27 | | 2025 | $602,500 | 34 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Lower East Side instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
