236 East 78th Street is a charming pre-war co-op located in the heart of the Upper East Side, offering a variety of fully renovated apartments that cater to both owner-occupants and investors. The building features a mix of studios and one-bedroom units, many of which boast modern updates such as stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, and exposed brick accents. The apartments are designed to maximize natural light, with oversized windows that provide a serene atmosphere, particularly in the rear-facing units surrounded by trees.

Situated between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, the location is highly convenient, just two blocks from the 77th Street 6 train and one block from the cross-town 79th Street bus. Residents enjoy easy access to a vibrant array of dining options, including popular spots like Sushi Noz, Penrose, and Eataly Caffe, as well as proximity to Central Park and Museum Mile.

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.
