Overview of 157 East 2nd Street

Residences range from studios and one bedrooms to converted two bedroom layouts. High ceilings, hardwood floors and substantial closet storage recur, while several larger apartments retain separate kitchens. Renovated kitchens and bathrooms are also common.

The building is on East 2nd Street near Avenue A, close to the restaurants, bars and shops concentrated along the surrounding East Village blocks and the Lower East Side to the south. The F train stops at Second Avenue station on Houston Street, a few blocks away.

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.
