930 Park Avenue stands as one of the Upper East Side's most distinguished cooperatives, designed by the prolific architectural firm Schwartz & Gross in 1916. This Italian Renaissance palazzo style building occupies a prime southwest corner location at 81st Street, featuring an elegantly detailed masonry façade with pilasters, string courses, and a distinctive green cornice. The 13 story structure houses 29 units and was fully converted to a cooperative in 1946, having initially operated as a rental building with some cooperative units beginning in 1923.
The building attracted notable residents early in its history, including Juan T. Trippe, president of Pan American Airways, who leased a nine room apartment in 1931. Today's apartments showcase the grandeur typical of prewar Park Avenue living, with most units featuring 10 to 11 foot ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, and semi private elevator landings. Many residences include formal galleries that serve as central circulation spaces, oversized living rooms with direct Park Avenue views, gracious dining rooms, and libraries that often function as flexible fourth bedrooms. Some apartments retain original details like butler's pantries and staff rooms, while incorporating modern amenities such as state of the art kitchens with top tier appliances and central air conditioning.
As a full service cooperative, 930 Park Avenue provides white glove amenities including a doorman, elevator operator, live in resident manager, and building staff. Residents enjoy access to a gym, bike storage, private storage units, and laundry facilities. The building maintains a pet friendly policy and permits pied-à-terre ownership, with financing allowed up to 50% and a 2% flip tax paid by purchasers. Its location places residents steps from Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madison Avenue boutiques, and some of the city's finest restaurants, making it a coveted address in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
