This 20-story, post-war cooperative apartment building on the Upper East Side has 45 units and features amenities such as a full-time doorman, balconies, gym, and garden. Located in an excellent neighborhood with nearby shopping, restaurants, art galleries, and public transportation, the building offers a luxurious living experience with noise-reducing windows to mitigate street traffic.
179 East 70th Street is a 20 story, 45 unit post-war co-op completed in 1959, with a gray brick façade and a mid-block location in Lenox Hill. The building culminates in a duplex penthouse that places its main living spaces and three terraces on the lower level, with the bedrooms above.
Apartments commonly have generously scaled rooms organized around central entrance galleries, with formal dining rooms and separation between entertaining and sleeping areas. Oversized windows, multiple exposures, hardwood floors, abundant closets, windowed kitchens, and in-unit laundry recur in the residences, while double thick windows temper noise from Third Avenue.
Building services include a full time doorman, attended lobby, live-in resident manager, porters, a renovated fitness center, garden, central laundry room, private storage, and bicycle storage. The co-op permits financing up to 50 percent and imposes a 2 percent flip tax.
The building is on tree lined East 70th Street just west of Third Avenue, across from the Postmodern Trafalgar House at 188 East 70th Street. Madison Avenue is two avenue blocks west, and the 6 train stops at the 68th Street Hunter College station on Lexington Avenue.

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.
