Overview of 118 West 72nd Street

118 West 72nd Street, originally known as the Earlton Studios, is a 13-story building designed by Buchman & Fox and completed in 1915. Converted to a cooperative in 1984, it features 48 apartments and offers a live-in superintendent and a central laundry room. The building is situated in a prime Upper West Side location, just steps from Central Park, Riverside Park, and a variety of dining and shopping options, including Trader Joe's and Lincoln Center.

The apartments in this co-op are characterized by high ceilings, hardwood floors, and ample natural light, with many units featuring oversized windows and open city views. Common amenities include a resident super, elevator access, and a laundry facility. The building permits pied-Ă -terre arrangements, gifting, co-purchasing, and guarantors, although dogs are not allowed.

Notably, the building's architecture showcases a handsome Neo-Gothic terra-cotta façade, although some renovations at the base have been criticized for lacking compatibility with the original design. The surrounding neighborhood retains a mix of low-rise buildings and local retail, contributing to a vibrant community atmosphere.

Residents enjoy easy access to multiple subway lines, including the 1/2/3 and B/C trains, making transportation convenient. The building's location and amenities make it a desirable choice for those seeking a home in one of New York City's most sought-after neighborhoods.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "intimate" prewar residence, featuring "just four apartments per floor," offers a "prime Upper East Side location" one block from the park with "convenient crosstown transit." While the building boasts "nice architectural details" and "newly renovated common areas," some units "await updating"; no-doorman setup keeps it "low-key."

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.
