Welcome to Residence 2A at 50 Orchard Street, an oversized 863-square-foot one-bedroom that pairs loft-like proportions with a fresh, fully renovated interior. Western exposure brings natural light into the home throughout the day, while the expansive living and dining area gives you the flexibility to entertain, work from home, and create distinct spaces without compromising how the apartment lives. At the center of it all is a newly renovated kitchen designed for both cooking and gathering, with quartz countertops, a waterfall peninsula with an extended ledge that comfortably seats multiple guests, Bosch appliances, and a vented Miele range and oven. It is polished enough to compete with new development, but with the kind of scale that is increasingly difficult to find downtown at this price.
The bedroom is quietly positioned away from the main living space and comfortably accommodates a king-size bed. The spa-inspired bathroom features elegant finishes and a deep soaking tub, creating the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. Throughout the home, newly installed recessed lighting, hardwood floors, three closets, and a vented in-unit washer and dryer add to its effortless, move-in-ready appeal. A private basement storage room is also included. Whether it is your first purchase, a move to more space downtown, or a long-term investment, Residence 2A offers a rare combination of generous proportions, thoughtful design, and a highly desirable Lower East Side address.
50 Orchard Street is a pet-friendly boutique condominium with a warm, intimate feel and a distinctly downtown sensibility. Residents enjoy bike storage, private storage, and a shared rooftop terrace with skyline views, creating an easy, well-rounded living experience in the heart of the Lower East Side.
Located on Orchard Street between Grand and Hester, the apartment puts you on a street recently recognized by Time Out as one of the coolest in the world, surrounded by galleries, independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants, and the creative energy that continues to define the Lower East Side. Ludlow House is nearby, along with neighborhood standouts like Nine Orchard, Corner Bar, Russ & Daughters, Essex Market, and Metrograph. Trader Joe's and Target add everyday convenience close to home, while Seward Park offers green space, recreation, and a neighborhood gathering place just moments away. Yet this particular block offers an important distinction: zoning protections limit the concentration of late-night bars, helping preserve a more residential, gallery-driven character even as the neighborhood around it stays unmistakably downtown. The F, M, J, Z, B, and D trains, M15 bus, and Citi Bike keep Soho, the Financial District, Brooklyn, and the rest of Manhattan within easy reach.
Residence 2A brings together the space, finish, and downtown lifestyle that are increasingly difficult to find in one home. Let's get you in to see it.
There is a temporary capital assessment of $618.98/month through December 2027.
Quick Profile
The roots of Chinatown are said to go back as far as 1858, with the arrival of Cantonese businessman, Ah Ken. Ah Ken made his fortune selling cigars and is thought to have set up the first boarding houses for Chinese immigrants.
Vibrant and bustling, in New York City’s Chinatown, you’ll find the biggest population of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere. Although Chinatown was established mostly by Cantonese speakers, due to an influx of Fuzhounese speaking Chinese immigrants and Mandarin being the official language of China and Taiwan, Mandarin has become vital to the dynamic tableau that is Chinatown.
Centered around Chatham Square and Columbia Park, Chinatown is transportive yet quintessential New York. Traveling the cozy corridors of Chinatown, bask in the varied languages and cultural diaspora, uniquely American and yet universal. Witness the roots of a place where a community was allowed to grow within a community, a world within a world. See it in the statues, architecture, and signage throughout Chinatown. Smell it seeping out from the multitude of dim sum restaurants, noodle houses, and speakeasies that reside here. Pick up a bao and wander the markets for deals and explore the sometimes brutal historic sites.
Chinatown is developing. Much of the lower-income housing once available in the area are being refurbished and sold. As a result, the community and its demographic makeup are diversifying.
