Property Description for 521 East 6th Street, 5-S

HDFC Co-op | 165% AMI | Two-Bedroom Duplex with Outdoor Space Welcome to 521 East 6th Street, Apartment 5S—an HDFC cooperative offering a bright and spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex with outdoor space in the heart of Alphabet City. Situated five flights up, this thoughtfully configured home opens to a sun-filled main level with approximately 9.7-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and open southern views over classic East Village tenements. The renovated chef’s kitchen is equipped with a Whirlpool and Bosch appliance package, including a dishwasher, and is complemented by a dedicated pantry. The generous layout comfortably accommodates separate living and dining areas, along with a flexible second room on this level that can function as a king-sized bedroom, den, or guest space, complete with built-in closets. A full bathroom and in-unit washer/dryer complete this floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers excellent light, ample closet space, and direct access to outdoor living, including a private south-facing balcony and a large shared terrace with open sky views. This level also features a second full bathroom and convenient access to the roof. The building is pet-friendly, and offers a complimentary laundry room for shareholders. Two community gardens on the block add to the neighborhood’s charm. This is an HDFC cooperative and subject to board approval. Income restrictions apply at 165% of Area Median Income: 1 person: $187,110 2 persons: $213,840 3 persons: $240,570 Due to HDFC income caps at this price point, financing is unlikely to be viable for most buyers. Putting down a high amount of cash, and taking out less financing, so long as it is below the 165% AMI, might be possible. A rare opportunity to own a bright, flexible home with outdoor space in one of downtown’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

East Village | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The East Village has two distinct moods. By day, it is quiet and peaceful. Everyone is out and about, either working or relaxing at Tompkins Square Park, strolling or jogging along the East River, or hanging out in one of the subsets of cultural activity, such as St. Mark’s Place. 

But then night falls, and the East Village comes to life, keeping the entertainment and nightlife going long after the other neighborhoods have called it quits for the night. People from all five boroughs flock to the dive bars and speakeasies, head for their favorite cafes and restaurants, or drop in to a music venue to listen to hot tunes or cool jazz and dance the night away. Don’t worry, you don’t have to “know somebody” to gain admittance to even the most popular venues. You won’t find velvet ropes, bouncers, or and a waiting list at the door of most places. Just walk right in and enjoy yourself.

Be prepared for the increased population during fall through spring, when NYU is in session. College students will be everywhere, contributing to the youthful essense of the neighborhood.
