Overview of 56 Ludlow Street

56 Ludlow Street is a pre-war cooperative building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Originally completed in 1900 and converted into a co-op in 1990, this 5-story walk-up building contains 12 units. Positioned between Hester and Grand Streets, 56 Ludlow offers residents amenities such as intercom access and basement bike storage. Washer/dryers and pets are allowed with approval.

Known as the birthplace of the iconic band Velvet Underground, 56 Ludlow sits on a quiet block that benefits from its proximity to nearby schools, providing a rare sense of calm in this vibrant neighborhood. Despite its peaceful setting, the building is just steps away from the Lower East Side’s rich offerings of art, culture, dining, and shopping.

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.
