975 Park Avenue, an elegant pre-war cooperative built in 1929, stands at the southeast corner of 83rd Street. Designed by J.M. Felson and developed by Edgar Ellinger, this 16-story building features distinctive architectural elements including an unusual series of cow skull ornaments (bulcrania) along its façade, diaper work brick designs at the parapet, and three-story-high arched window surrounds at the top. The building's limestone base is complemented by corner quoins above the second floor.
Converted to 66 cooperative apartments in 1964, the building maintains the highest standards of service with a full-time doorman, concierge, and live-in resident manager. Modern amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, private storage, and central laundry facilities. The co-op permits 50% financing.
The building enjoys a prime Upper East Side location, overlooking the Roman Catholic Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola and positioned near Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Museum Mile. The area is well-served by cross-town buses on 86th Street and an express subway station at Lexington Avenue.

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.
