501 3rd Ave #5G, New York, NY 10016

At 605 sq ft, Residence 5G is the footprint of Eastlight's one bedrooms at a studio price. Run the numbers per square foot. We did, and we'll show you. Here is the math most listings hope you skip. Eastlight's one bedrooms run 606 to 831 square feet and ask well over $ 1.3 million. Residence5G gives you 605 square feet for $988,000, which works out to $1633 per square foot, the best space-per-dollar ratio of any studio currently available in the building. Same white oak floors, same Miele kitchen, same marble bath. Just more of it, for less. And that square footage is not hallway math. The layout lives like a junior one-bedroom, with a true sleeping area that takes a queen bed plus nightstands, a living and dining space that fits an actual sofa and an actual table at the same time, and floor-to-ceiling, sound-attenuated windows across the main wall. Add an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer, generous closets, and a wide entry foyer that keeps the kitchen, bath, and living areas from crowding each other. The building holds up its end. Eastlight is a full-service, 2021-built condominium by CetraRuddy with a 34th-floor amenity suite: fitness center, residents lounge, private dining room, and a rooftop terrace with grills and skyline views that come with your common charges rather than your purchase price. Downstairs, you are two blocks from Trader Joe's and the 6 train, with Grand Central, NoMad, and the East River Greenway all in walking range. If you have been shopping one-bedrooms in this neighborhood, come see what happens when you stop paying for a wall. Private showings available. Happy to walk you through the full comp table.
