Carter’s Review

"This attractive, 19-story, beige-brick apartment house at 1056 Fifth Avenue on the southeast corner at 87th Street along Museum Mile in Carnegie Hill has a superb, quiet location across from the reservoir in Central Park and a block north of where many parades terminate on Fifth Avenue. 

The 87-unit, cooperative building was erected by Simon Brothers in 1951 and designed by George F. Pelham 2nd. "

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.
