Residents enjoy a central laundry room, bike room, and a beautifully furnished rooftop terrace with 360-degree city views. The building is pet-friendly, allowing cats but not dogs, and permits pied-Ă -terres, co-purchasing, and guarantors on a case-by-case basis.
The Kenilworth was converted to a co-op in 1986 and features 147 units across 25 stories. The building is known for its sunken retail plaza fronting Third Avenue, which, despite its limited commercial success, provides valuable open space in this bustling area.

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.
