Overview of 237 Lafayette Street

237 Lafayette Street is a prewar co-op building located in the vibrant NoLiTa neighborhood of Manhattan. Constructed in 1911 and converted into a 20-unit cooperative in 1975, this 12-story building features a beige-brick façade with a distinctive three-story black-metal base. The building is well-equipped with modern amenities, including a video security system, two freight elevators, and key-locked elevator access, ensuring both security and convenience for residents.

Each floor hosts only two units, providing a sense of privacy and exclusivity. The apartments are characterized by their spacious layouts, high ceilings, and abundant natural light from oversized windows. Notable features include expansive living areas, in-unit laundry facilities, and well-designed kitchens with high-end appliances. The penthouse units stand out with private roof terraces and stunning city views, making them particularly desirable.

Residents enjoy a pet-friendly policy and the flexibility of subletting with board approval. The building's prime location offers easy access to the best of downtown living, with trendy shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions just steps away. Notably, the building has been home to acclaimed artist Jennifer Bartlett, adding to its artistic legacy.

Overall, 237 Lafayette Street combines historic charm with modern living, making it a sought-after address in one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
