    An East Village Eye ad offers Norfolk Arms apartments for under $65,000

    In its September 1984 issue, the East Village Eye ran an ad for the Norfolk Arms at 170 Norfolk Street, offering one- and two-bedroom apartments for under $65,000. The block was then considered a dicey stretch of the Lower East Side. In 2011 Ephemeral New York cited StreetEasy figures putting prices in that area around half a million dollars.
