Overview of 169 East 69th Street

Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, this 20-story white-brick cooperative was built in 1962 and houses 66 residences. Distinguished by its polished black granite base and large white marble panels, the building features a canopied entrance, discreetly placed air-conditioners, and select units with terraces. A full-time doorman provides attentive service, enhancing the secure and welcoming atmosphere.

Positioned across from the full-block Imperial House and just south of the notable tower at 188 East 70th Street, the building is surrounded by an elegant streetscape that includes historic former carriage houses. Residents enjoy proximity to premier shopping, diverse dining options, and essential services. While the avenues in the neighborhood see significant traffic, the sidestreets offer a quieter residential ambiance. Convenient transportation options include the Lexington Avenue subway station at 67th Street and crosstown bus service.

The cooperative offers practical amenities, including a recently renovated fitness center, a children’s playroom, a bike room, and cold storage. While there is no garage, only a few units with terraces, health club, or roof deck, residents benefit from semi-private landings, in-unit washer and dryer convenience, and 50% financing availability. Low maintenance fees include utilities and basic cable, adding to the building’s appeal.

Pied-à-terres are permitted with board approval, but pets are not allowed. A 2% flip tax is payable by the seller. With its prime location and well-maintained residences, this cooperative presents a comfortable and convenient option in one of Manhattan’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-situated" corner property on a "beautiful block" offers "spacious" apartments and "helpful" staff. While the lobby may show some age, the building's proximity to subway lines and accommodating pied-à-terre policy make it a "convenient" choice for city dwellers. Attentive doorman and porter service "add value" to the experience.

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.
