Overview of 217 East 5th Street

217 East 5th Street is a five story, 10 unit pre-war co-op completed in 1920, with an unusual single family carriage house component arranged over five levels. The 25 foot wide carriage house is organized around a private courtyard and includes a rooftop terrace, giving the property a layout more commonly associated with a townhouse than a compact East Village co-op.

The apartments are marked by floor through plans and dual exposures, with south facing living areas and north facing bedrooms or sleeping areas recurring across the homes. Courtyard, garden, and tree lined street outlooks appear alongside flexible bonus areas that can serve as dining rooms or home offices. Decorative fireplaces, exposed brick, hardwood floors, skylights, and full size kitchen appliances contribute to the pre-war character found in the apartments.

Resident storage is available, and pets are allowed. Co-purchasing is permitted, while subletting is allowed after one year of residency. The building is a walk up on a tree lined stretch of East 5th Street between Second and Third Avenues, with Cooper Square and the East Village Historic District nearby.

Astor Place station, served by the 6 train, is about three blocks away. NoHo, Union Square, the Bowery, and the neighborhood's restaurants and cultural venues are also close to the building.

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.
