Joey Ramone's former apartment in Manhattan’s East Village is on the market for $575,000. This compact 400-square-foot loft, renovated in 2018, is rich in history, with remnants of Ramone's life including letters and bills discovered behind kitchen cabinets. The notable findings offer a glimpse into his life, including correspondence related to a canceled concert at Boston University in 1987. The apartment, listed by real estate agent James McGrath, appeals to fans for its connection to the late Ramones frontman.
The renovation unearthed long-forgotten bills, letters and scribbles belonging to Ramone that were wedged behind kitchen cabinets, including significant letters about concert cancellations.
One letter from a student organizer described the university administration's objections to the Ramones, asserting they were seen as 'sound, obnoxious drug-addicts!'
The apartment, listed for $575,000, was home to Joey Ramone from the height of the Ramones' fame until his death in 2001.
McGrath noted that the findings within the loft give a unique glimpse into Ramone’s life and musical legacy, making the listing particularly special.
