Property Description for 208 Forsyth Street, 9/12

Can't decide between the Lower East Side and East Village? Don't.

Have a solid down payment but want to keep your monthly costs low? Perfect, these are only $498/mo.

This sunny, east-facing duplex is comprised of the top two floors on the backside of a pre-war HDFC* co-op building. With nobody above and windows on three sides this is truly your private, sunny sanctuary away from it all. Enter on the upper level to a loft-like living floor that blends exposed brick and a modern layout to form a canvas for your own chic design. Enjoy a cross breeze in your large, windowed eat-in kitchen or lounge away in well proportioned living room with two over-sized windows.

Downstairs you'll find a rambling master suite. The king sized bedroom has exposed beams and white-washed brick that leads into a bonus room that could be an office, library, sitting lounge or killer walk through closet. The bathroom is designed with a stand up shower, tub by the window, WASHER/DRYER (dreams do come true) and pedestal sink. Outside the bathroom is a massive storage way (and second entrance/exit).

208 Forsyth is a few doors south of Houston in the center of Hip Central and conveniently located around the corner from the 2nd Ave F station and less than 1/3 of a mile to the B/D/M/6/J/Z. The common backyard provides an outdoor respite from the hopping streets and the building provides additional laundry facilities. There are two retail shops that help keep monthlies low and gives the building a healthy financial reserve.

*While gifting of a down payment is allowed, HDFC Co-ops have maximum yearly income limits based on the number of people occupying the apartment. For one person that is $120,615, two people is $137,775, three people is $154,945.

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.
