Hillman Coop at 530 Grand St. #E11F

Sunny, south-east exposure, efficiency one-bedroom overlooking quiet Hillman courtyard with partial East River views, high-ceilings and a high-floor breeze. Open concept kitchen with Blomberg fridge and stainless gas stove. Four ceiling-height closets for lots of storage space in an efficient layout. Refinished radiator covers and bathtub. Current owner has lived here for 7 years with no complaints. Love the high floor location and quiet neighborhood.

Hillman Co-op is a 9 building complex (A – J) with good management and quiet, friendly homeowners. Laundry in the basement, along with the Hillman Gym, bike storage and other storage rooms available for rent.

In addition to these basics there are tons of rare amenities: Three large outdoor green spaces for pic-nickers or green-thumbers (Hillman Garden, Hillman Yard, Broome Street Beautification Project), a private dog run (Hillman Community Dog Park), a fully-equipped woodworking shop, gated courtyards/parks/playgrounds and a parking garage.

As for the neighborhood, new developments such as Essex Crossing, Market Line, Target, Trader Joe’s and Gulick Park form an exciting new & old contrast with the historic Lower East Side, Chinatown and Soho, all within walking distance. Lots of public amenities nearby, most-notably the Hamilton Fish Olympic-sized swimming pool, East River Tennis Courts and East River Park.
