HOME0001’s Lower East Side buildings offer two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio apartments, with roof decks and common spaces that host regular community programming.

A short walk from Metrograph, Clandestino, Bacaro, Aeon Bookstore, Funny Bar, and of course Dimes, HOME0001’s LES buildings are close to the BDFM, JZ, 4, and 6 trains.

In 1897, the southern part of the Lower East Side around East Broadway was a Jewish neighborhood and famously home to the offices of the Yiddish-language socialist newspaper The Forward. Over the years, it has also been home to a significant Puerto Rican population and, since the late 1980s, a generation of Chinese immigrants from Fuzhou. Facing social rejection and job discrimination from the residents of the existing (predominantly Cantonese-speaking) Chinatown, West of the Manhattan Bridge, the Fuzhou population instead built a parallel Chinatown in this enclave of the Lower East Side, sometimes known as Little Fuzhou.

In the early 2000s, an influx of influential contemporary art galleries made the LES the emerging epicenter of the New York art world, and soon after, artist-run businesses like the cafe Dimes became iconic, defining that culture among the city’s pitch-deck-industrial-complex. However, starting in the late 2010s, that millennial-hipster culture was in turn subverted by the contrarian subcultures of a new generation. Now, the neighborhood finds itself at the beating heart of New York’s new post-culture war semiotic furnace.
