Overview of 315 East 72nd Street

315 East 72nd Street is a 22 story, 218 unit co-op built in 1959 in Lenox Hill. Its red brick exterior is anchored by a two story rusticated limestone base, with the entrance leading to a step down lobby; occasional balconies and terraces break up the otherwise regular façade.

Several studios and junior one bedroom homes use sleeping or dining alcoves to divide the space without fully enclosing it. Oversized one bedroom layouts also recur, often with flexible living areas and open city views from the higher floors. Many renovated apartments have open kitchens and in-unit washers and dryers.

The building has a 24 hour doorman, a live-in superintendent and a 3,000 square foot landscaped roof deck furnished with seating, picnic tables, barbecues and refrigeration. A renovated fitness center, garden and patio, laundry rooms on every floor, bike storage, private storage and an on-site parking garage complete the amenity program.

The building is between First and Second Avenues, less than a block from the Q train at 72nd Street station on Second Avenue. Central Park lies to the west and the East River Promenade to the east. The co-op is pet friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing and parents buying for children; financing up to 75 percent and subletting for two out of every five years are allowed.

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.
