Overview of 970 Park Avenue

970 Park Avenue is a distinguished pre-war cooperative located at the corner of Park Avenue and 83rd Street, designed by the architectural firm Schwartz & Gross and completed in 1912. The building features a solid red-brick façade with decorative limestone elements, including a canopied entrance and a two-story limestone base. Originally a 12-story structure, it was expanded to 15 stories in 1987, adding two triplex penthouses that offer expansive views and outdoor terraces. The building houses 40 apartments, each characterized by high ceilings, fireplaces, and generous layouts that reflect the elegance of early 20th-century design.

Residents enjoy a range of amenities, including a 24 hour doorman, a resident manager, and a fitness room. The cooperative allows pets and pied-à-terre ownership, with financing options permitting up to 75%. Apartments typically feature large windows that provide abundant natural light, hardwood floors, and well-appointed kitchens. Notable units include spacious two-bedroom layouts with en-suite bathrooms and ample closet space, as well as grand living areas ideal for entertaining.

The building's prime location offers easy access to Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a variety of dining and shopping options. The neighborhood is well-served by public transportation, with cross-town buses and subway stations nearby. 970 Park Avenue stands as a testament to the luxurious living standards of the Upper East Side, combining historic charm with modern conveniences.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
