Overview of 85 First Avenue

85 First Avenue is a pre war, six story walk up cooperative completed around 1900 and organized with 20 apartments across a two building complex. The historic tenement sits at the corner of East 5th Street and First Avenue, directly beside the NYPD’s 9th Precinct and a short distance from Tompkins Square Park.\n\nApartments reflect the building’s converted tenement layout, including one bedroom floor through homes, convertible two bedroom apartments, and at least one residence occupying an entire floor. That largest reported layout was created by combining two former apartments and has eastern and western exposures, while another two bedroom arrangement occupies roughly half a floor.\n\nRenovated interiors recur in the building’s apartments, with open kitchens, updated bathrooms, hardwood floors, pocket doors, and in unit laundry appearing across multiple homes. Some residences have exposed brick, windowed kitchens, or roomier layouts with space for a home office or den.\n\nThe pet friendly cooperative has virtual doorman access through Latch, 24 hour professional management, and Verizon Fios compatibility. Its East Village setting places cafes, restaurants, nightlife, boutique shopping, and fitness studios along the surrounding blocks, with Tompkins Square Park and grocery stores including Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods nearby.

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.
