Property Description for 172 Forsyth Street, 6-C
**Contract signed** Fantastic opportunity to buy a charming two bedroom apartment with low maintenance ($549/mo), for less than the price of a one bedroom! HDFC income restrictions apply - the income maximum for a household of one is $76,125, $87,000 for two, $97,875 for three (120% AMI level for 2016).
Located on a tree-lined street on the Lower East Side, across from Sara D. Roosevelt Park, this top floor home in a pre-war walk-up building faces west and is filled with sunlight from windows in every room. The entry hall (perfect for a gallery wall) leads to the kitchen and 14’ wide living room with direct view of the park. The first bedroom can fit a full/queen bed with dresser, the second bedroom fits a full/queen bed and would make a great home office with an open park view. Closet and storage shelves lead to the windowed bathroom.
The best part is living in a vibrant neighborhood between Stanton & Rivington along the soccer fields at Sarah D. Roosevelt Park, less than 2 minutes walk from Nolita, Whole Foods Bowery, chic Lower East Side restaurants/shoppes (Meatball Shop, Sauce, Jadis, Freeman’s Alley, Morganstern’s Ice Cream & more!) and galleries. Access to transportation is easy - the F subway line is 2 blocks away and the 6/B/D/F lines at Bowery/Lafayette are a mere 6 minutes away. There are 2 CitiBike kiosks located across the street.
172 Forsyth Street HDFC is a well-maintained cooperative with 17 apartments and a live-in property manager.

Lower East Side | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Bursting with energy at every turn, the Lower East Side is one of the most historic neighborhoods in all of Manhattan. Rooted in immigrant history, the bulk of European and Eastern European migration that occurred in the late nineteenth through the early twentieth century took place here, where the Tenement Museum remains one of the best ways to become acquainted with how early residents of the neighborhood lived.
The unique and eclectic mix of building styles--ranging from low- and high-rises to luxury and historic buildings--begins immediately upon entering the area via the Manhattan or Brooklyn Bridge, known as Two Bridges, itself a neighborhood that has also long been known for its immigrant population. With its historic district placed in the National Register of Historic Places, many of its oldest churches, such as Mariners Temple and St. James Church remain a preserved part of the district’s storied past.
While the LES has long been a hub for aspiring musicians and artists, the area has increasingly transformed its demographic as it welcomes a more affluent sect of residents with the advent of condos and luxury spaces.
