The seven-story condominium apartment building at 331 East 8th Street has been topped out.
The mid-block, 5-unit building is between C and D Avenues and is adjacent to one of several very impressive and nice community gardens in the neighborhood.
The quiet, tree-lined street has an interesting mix of buildings. The gray-stucco building at 325 has large inset balconies while the red-brick building at 327 has blue fire escapes. The five-story red-brick buildings at 337 and 337B have very attractive deep blue tile entrance surrounds and handsome stainless steel first floor window grills.
One of the city's nicest police facilities, Police Service Area 4, a two-tone gray-brick structure erected in 2002 and designed by the design department of the New York City Housing Authority in the banded stripe style of Mario Botta, is on the northeast corner of Avenue C and 8th Street and the southewest corner at that intersection is the very handsome Art Deco-style yellow and red brick 7-story Eastville Gardens apartment building.
There is good cross-town bus transportation two blocks to the north on Tenth Street and this East Village location is convenient to Tompkins Square Park.
