Avalon Chrystie Place

Avalon Chrystie Place is a rental apartment building at 229 Chrystie Street in the Lower East Side, Manhattan, owned and managed by AvalonBay Communities. It stands at the corner of East Houston Street on the Bowery’s eastern flank, facing the long strip of Sara D. Roosevelt Park that runs south from Houston to Canal Street.

The New Museum sits a few blocks south on the Bowery, and Nolita, the East Village and Chinatown all begin within a short walk. Tompkins Square Park lies east across Avenue A. The F stops at Second Avenue, the B and D at Grand Street, the J and Z at Bowery, and the 6 at Bleecker Street with a transfer to the B, D, F and M at Broadway-Lafayette.

Completed in 2005, the 14-story building holds 361 apartments and was part of the redevelopment of long-vacant city-owned land along Houston and Chrystie Streets, which also brought a Whole Foods to the corner. AvalonBay later built Avalon Bowery Place a short walk north, and residents are at the meeting point of the Lower East Side, the East Village and Nolita.
