And the relevant phrase in that apartment listing is: "fourth floor walkup".

So she lived at the American Felt Building in 1986 at age 18 which means she lived there when Bret Easton Ellis lived there, so they were neighbors. That must've been the go to building for young stars back then.

Looks like all the original details were gutted from the interior. Sad!

Well, $1.7 seems like a bargain. And that block is lovely. So... off I go to find that money somewhere. At the end of the rainbow?!

many of the actors who live in the neighborhood are rethinking their location..frat city is a turn off..
Tom Cruise lived in the American Felt too, rumor has it, he had his ceilings lowered to look taller.

I wouldn't call E.13th St. closer to 4th Avenue than 3rd Avenue exactly "frat city". The area between 3rd and 5th Avenues is pretty chill.
Frat city, to me, is Houston to 14th Sts. between and including the east side of 3rd Avenue and the west side of Avenue A or the non-Alphabet City part of the East Village.
I forgot to say Tom Cruise once lived at the AFB, too, so again, probably a go to building for young stars and I bet the apartments were cheap. I'd be curious to know how much Molly Before Molly, Ellis, and Cruise paid for their apartments - 100K or less? Assuming Cruise moved there in the mid '80s like Ringwald and Ellis.

@4:40pm: I presume you aren't actually anywhere near 4th Avenue near 13th St. at "party time", because I *am* and it certainly is part of frat city. It likes to imagine that it's more upscale than 3rd Ave., but it's just more expensive. Same fratty idiots no matter where you look.
PS: Your definition of "frat city" as only including the east side of 3rd Avenue bears out my point: you don't know the nabe, otherwise what do you call Pourhouse, Brazen Fox, and all other bars on the WEST side of 3rd Ave from 11th to 14th Streets? It's ALL frat city, and it's disgusting.

Hey 5:52pm 4th Avenue is not Frat City, it's is a weird netherland-gateway between the East Village, Union Square, and Greenwich Village. It doesn't have anything going on on it. Neither does 13th between 3rd and 4th. And this is coming from someone who has been through "the nabe" (which I know very well, thanks) for decades and possibly longer/much longer than you.
Ok, so both sides of 3rd Avenue have frat bars, fine, happy?
A two-bedroom, 1.5-bath co-op that actress-singer Molly Ringwald has owned for the past 12 years at 122 E. 10th St. is now on the market, the Observerreports.
Here are some excerpts via the listing (Robert Lewis of Weichert Properties has the listing and is showing the property):
Step back in time as you enter this gorgeous duplex penthouse in a James Renwick Jr. designed, 1861 Anglo-Italianate row house.
Celebrity owned and lovingly restored, 122 East 10th Street Apartment 4/5 belongs on the cover of "Architectural Digest". The living room is filled with original details, such as the 10' exposed beam ceilings, a pair of antique wooden windows, and a decorative marble mantel, which frames the first of two wood burning fireplaces. Walk through an arched hallway and there is a marble powder room (convertible to a full bath) and coat closet on the way to the chef's kitchen. Four south-facing windows in the kitchen create an ideal space to grow your own herbs.
It offers the best of both worlds: Historic and private townhouse living, with the safety and convenience of a co-op. Well worth the fourth floor walk up!
Asking price for the home between Second Avenue and Third Avenue: $1.795 million.
Ringwald, 48, who starred in motion pictures such as "The Breakfast Club" and "Pretty in Pink," primarily lives in Santa Monica with her husband and three children.
Her connection to the neighborhood reportedly spans 30 years, when she moved into the American Felt building at 114 E. 13th St. between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue at age 18.
