Carter’s Review
"This very handsome 16-story, co-operative apartment building at 121 West 72nd Street has 91 apartments and towers over most of its neighbors on the north side of the street.
From 1959 to 1962, Isaac Bashevis Singer, the author, lived in the building, which was erected in 1926."

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.
