A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 182 East 2nd Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
182 East 2nd Street is East Village condominium ownership in its pre-war register: 41 residences across a six-story frontage that runs 178 through 184 East 2nd Street, between Avenues A and B in the heart of Alphabet City. This is not new glass-and-steel product — it is a converted and renovated pre-war building, the ownership format that lets buyers own in a neighborhood whose stock skews heavily to walk-up rentals, HDFC co-ops, and tenement-era holdouts. A condominium at this scale, with a landscaped roof deck and updated residences, is a specific and comparatively scarce product on these blocks.
The East Village prices ownership at a premium precisely because there is so little of it. Between the walk-up rental stock, the HDFC co-ops, and the small pre-war holdings, a renovated pre-war condominium with 41 residences, a roof deck, and condo-flexible governance stands apart. 182 East 2nd Street offers exactly that: the pre-war frame and the Alphabet City address, paired with the ownership flexibility — 20 percent down per building records, condominium rather than co-op board discipline — that draws buyers who want to own rather than rent in the neighborhood.
Location is the second half of the argument. The building sits one block north of Houston Street, a short walk from Tompkins Square Park, the First Avenue and Second Avenue restaurant density, and the F/J/M/Z trains at nearby stations. For buyers, the thesis is neighborhood plus tenure: the East Village energy that defines Alphabet City, in a condominium format that a co-op or a rental cannot match on flexibility. The building trades as pre-war East Village condo stock — a premium to the neighborhood's walk-up co-ops and rentals for the ownership flexibility and the roof deck, a value alternative to new-construction downtown condominiums for buyers who prefer the pre-war character.
Architecture and unit composition
The building presents a pre-war masonry frontage across 178 through 184 East 2nd Street, six stories of tenement-era fabric converted and renovated to condominium ownership. The 41 residences run from studios through two-bedrooms — compact pre-war layouts updated unit-by-unit with hardwood floors and modern kitchens and baths, retaining the window lines and proportions of the original structure. As with most pre-war conversions, condition and finish vary by residence, and renovated units command a premium over original stock. The landscaped roof deck carries open views over the low-rise Alphabet City blocks around it.
Building operations
This is condominium ownership in a boutique pre-war frame: a landscaped roof deck, a bike room, central laundry, and private storage, rather than a staffed lobby. Buyers coming from full-service buildings should price the trade consciously — low monthly carry and condo flexibility against the absence of a doorman. The offering plan and by-laws should be reviewed carefully during diligence, and we obtain current building documents from the managing agent for clients at offer stage.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,106/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00398-7501). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

What to know if you’re buying
Ownership flexibility is the point. A condominium — 20 percent down per building records, condo governance rather than a co-op board — in a neighborhood dominated by rentals and HDFC co-ops. If owning in the East Village is the goal, the condo format is the enabler.
It's a pre-war conversion, so condition varies. Renovated versus original is the dominant pricing spread in a converted pre-war building. Walk multiple units, and price the finish you'll inherit.
The roof deck is the shared amenity. No doorman here — the landscaped roof deck and the condo carry are the trade for a lower monthly cost than full-service downtown alternatives. Run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator against those alternatives.
Verify the policy stack. Pet, sublet, and financing specifics are thinly documented publicly beyond the 20-percent-down convention. We verify against the offering plan and managing agent during diligence.
Walk the block. Alphabet City between Avenues A and B is quintessential East Village — the energy is the draw for the buyer pool here and the objection for others. See the block at different hours before deciding.
What to know if you’re selling
Market the tenure, not just the square footage. A pre-war condominium in Alphabet City is a scarce ownership product. Lead with the flexibility — 20 percent down, no co-op board — and the roof deck, and position honestly against the neighborhood's rental and HDFC stock.
Condition drives price. In a converted pre-war building, a renovated residence is a materially different product from an original one. Price to your condition and comp against like condition.
Use in-building and adjacent comps. With 41 units, same-building trades anchor pricing, with adjacent renovated pre-war condominiums rounding out the set.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
