Income-restricted HDFC walk-up near Tompkins Square Park offering spacious full-floor apartments with remarkably low maintenance. Features LOT-EK-designed unit, exposed brick, wood-burning fireplaces, shared garden, and pet-friendly policies with strong financials. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
533 East 6th Street is a six unit HDFC co-op walk up located between Avenues A and B, one block from Tompkins Square Park. The building features full floor apartments, many around 1,100 square feet, with common amenities including a shared rear garden, basement storage and bike space, and laundry facilities on the first floor. Monthly maintenance is notably low, with one listing citing $822. As an HDFC, the building has income restrictions for incoming buyers (165% of AMI based on household size) but allows up to 80% financing and permits pets. A 1% flip tax is paid by the purchaser.
One standout unit, Residence 5, was renovated by LOT-EK, the world renowned architecture firm. Their design transformed the original two bedroom layout into an open one bedroom with sculptural corridors constructed from reclaimed steel that organize the home's core functions while maintaining flow between the living and kitchen areas. The renovation includes stainless steel cabinetry, in-unit washer/dryer, and custom built in dining seating, demonstrating a level of architectural intention uncommon in HDFC buildings.
Common features across units include wood burning fireplaces, exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and oak strip floors. Several apartments offer full floor layouts with both north and south exposures, providing strong natural light and views of gardens or skyline. Many units include built in bookshelves, and some have sunken living rooms, separate bedroom entrances suitable for live/work arrangements, or libraries that can convert to additional bedrooms. The building's engaged shareholders actively maintain the property, contributing to consistently low carrying costs and good financials.

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.
