Overview of The Kenilworth at 178 East 80th Street

The Kenilworth, located at 178 East 80th Street, is a full-service cooperative building dating back to 1908. Designed by Ralph S. Townsend in the French Second Empire style, it offers a range of amenities including a 24-hour doorman, elevator attendant, and resident manager. 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. The building's location has become increasingly desirable due to the gentrification of the surrounding neighborhood, offering proximity to trendy restaurants and upscale retail.

Residences within The Kenilworth are characterized by their spacious layouts and high-quality finishes. Many apartments feature renovated kitchens with premium stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and generous counter space. Bathrooms often include luxurious details such as Carrara marble tiling and modern fixtures. Apartments are designed to maximize natural light, with oversized windows offering tree-top or skyline views. Storage is ample, with multiple closets throughout each unit.

Situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, The Kenilworth provides easy access to Central Park, top-tier grocery stores, and fine dining. The building is conveniently located near public transportation options, including the 4/5/6 and Q trains, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a blend of comfort, convenience, and classic New York City living.

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.
