The Cherokee is a group of charming, architecturally significant walk-up buildings on the Upper East Side, known for their ornate ironwork balconies, terra-cotta façades, and distinctive green tile roofs. Built in 1911 and originally designed to house families with tuberculosis, the six-story buildings offer unique features such as triple-hung windows, open courtyard stairways, and vaulted passageways.
Residents enjoy the convenience of gas, electricity, heat, and water included in maintenance, along with on-site amenities like a laundry room, bike storage, and additional storage facilities. The Cherokee has been recognized for its exceptional restoration efforts, earning accolades from the Friends of the Upper East Side in 1991. Designated as an official city landmark in 1985, the complex was converted into cooperatives and renamed the Cherokee Apartments the following year.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
