This 18-story cooperative apartment building was erected in 1982 and has only 16 apartments. Located on the Upper East Side near Lenox Hill Hospital, it offers good views from upper floors but lacks amenities like a doorman, garage, or health club.
131 East 81st Street is an 18 story red brick cooperative in Carnegie Hill, completed in 1982 with just 16 apartments. Its most distinctive residential pattern is the number of full floor homes, while the top two floors form a duplex penthouse with terraces on both levels and a private roof deck.
Apartments are generally spacious and light filled, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, generous storage, and multiple exposures. Private keyed access, in unit washer and dryer, and outdoor space recur among the residences, including terraces, balconies, and Juliet balconies. Several homes have open city views, with upper floor apartments oriented in multiple directions.
The building has a live in superintendent, virtual doorman service, resident storage, video intercom, and package handling by resident staff. Pets and pied à terre arrangements are permitted, and the cooperative allows financing of up to 80 percent; subletting, co purchases, and parents buying for children are also permitted under the building's policies.
Set on a tree lined block between Park and Lexington Avenues, the building is close to Central Park, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lenox Hill Hospital, restaurants, grocery stores, and Upper East Side shopping. The 4, 5, and 6 trains stop at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue, and crosstown buses run along 79th Street.

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.
