The Chesapeake House, built in 1966 and converted to a cooperative in 1982, is a 20-story white-brick building located at 201 East 28th Street at the intersection of Third Avenue.

Carter’s Review

"This large, 20-story, white-brick apartment building is a very convenient to the Midtown South business district and the popular Flatiron District with its many fashionable restaurants and stores. Madison Square Park with its famous skyscrapers is just a few blocks away from this 248-unit, doorman building that was erected in 1966 and converted to a cooperative in 1982. There are some good views from the upper floors. A local subway station is nearby and cross-town buses run on 23rd and 34th Streets."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "full-service gem" offers "coveted amenities" including a "scenic roof deck" and "attentive" doorman service. The "prime location" puts you "steps away" from multiple subway lines (6, N, R) and the building sits in the heart of a "vibrant neighborhood" teeming with "fantastic dining options" and "active nightlife."

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.
