233 East 69th Street is a 16-story red brick post-war cooperative built in 1951 and converted to a co-op in 1987. The 204-unit building occupies a prime mid-block location on a tree lined street in Lenox Hill, with nicely proportioned architecture featuring attractive corner windows throughout and distinctive angled bay windows on the top two floors. The building underwent a lobby renovation and added a ground level patio garden in 2023, complementing its two furnished rooftop decks that offer expansive city views.
Apartments commonly feature hardwood or parquet floors, crown molding, and generous closet space, with many units offering corner exposures and large picture windows that bring in abundant natural light. Renovated kitchens typically include stainless steel appliances and dishwashers, while layouts range from studios to two bedrooms, with several junior four configurations that allow for flexible dining alcoves or home office space. High floor units benefit from open city views, and some residences have been outfitted with CityQuiet windows for enhanced sound insulation. A window replacement assessment is currently in effect through December 2027, with amounts varying by unit size.
The building provides 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, and a comprehensive amenity package including an on-site garage, two laundry rooms, bike storage, private storage lockers, package rooms, and an in-house library. Residents appreciate the attentive staff and strong community atmosphere. The cooperative maintains flexible policies, permitting pets, pied-Ă -terres, co-purchasing, guarantors, and gifting, with subletting allowed after two years of ownership and financing up to 75%. A 2% flip tax is paid by the seller.
The location offers exceptional convenience, positioned between Central Park and the East River promenade with the Q train directly at 69th Street and Second Avenue and the 6 train two blocks west. The neighborhood provides easy access to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Grace's Marketplace, and Ouri's Gourmet Market, along with notable dining destinations including Café Boulud and the longtime neighborhood institution Lusardi's. Cultural attractions like The Frick Collection and Metropolitan Museum of Art are within walking distance.

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.
