Overview of The Hortense Court at 9 East 97th Street

The Hortense Court, located at 9 East 97th Street, is a six-story prewar cooperative built in 1896. Situated just off Fifth Avenue on a tree-lined Upper East Side block, the building offers a blend of historic character and modern conveniences. Renovations to the lobby and stairwell are underway, complementing a recently updated elevator.

Building amenities include a virtual doorman, a full-time superintendent, a central laundry room, a bike room, storage (subject to availability), and a video intercom system. The co-op is pet-friendly and allows pieds-à-terre, subletting, co-purchasing, and foreign purchases, all subject to board approval. Up to 80% financing is permitted.

Positioned half a block from Central Park, The Hortense Court offers easy access to Museum Mile, Mount Sinai Hospital, and a variety of restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is well-served by public transportation, including the 4/5/6 and Q subway lines, the M96 crosstown bus, and multiple uptown and downtown bus routes.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "handsome" 1896 limestone edifice offers "classic Upper East Side living" just "steps from Central Park." The intimate 7-unit building provides "convenient access" to Madison Avenue's restaurant scene, while the "prime location" near 5th Avenue buses and the 96th Street subway makes commuting a breeze. Though lacking a doorman, this "well-situated" residence maintains a "boutique atmosphere" with part-time superintendent service.

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.
