This is a street with character. East 6th, between First and Second Avenue, has long been home to a row of small restaurants and string-lit storefronts - the East Village at its most alive.

The M15 Select Bus is around the corner, the 6, N, and R trains minutes off. A home with a garden in the East Village is not common. This one has both - solid ground, and a little sky above it.

Once the most vibrant art scene in NYC, it remains a trendy neighborhood to the avant-garde while also boasting a much more polished edge, complete with luxury condos, franchised coffee shops, and plenty of lunch spots.
