Originally constructed in 1911, this Lower East Side conversion was previously known as the Madison Jackson, but is presently referred to as The School House, paying homage to its earlier use as P.S. 12. To be sure, its Neoclassical facade maintains a certain formality, but it belies the modern design of its loft-like spaces, and the high standard of its amenities, of which a near-Olympic sized swimming pool is included. 371 Madison Street also features a fitness center, as well as two private courtyards, perfect for lounging or entertaining company. For added convenience, there is a doorman and a laundry room.

The School House’s location places it close to the waterfront, with East River Park and Corlears Hook Park just a short walk away. Additionally, the unique culture of the Lower East Side is energized by the creatives who call the neighborhood their home, and proximity to Williamsburg Bridge means easy access to equally trendy and eponymous Brooklyn neighborhood.
