Overview of 321 East 71st Street

321 East 71st Street is a red-brick, 6-story co-op building that was completed in 1938 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1986. The building houses 37 apartments and features a polished gray granite entrance surround, a 5-step-up vestibule, and fire escapes typical of the area. While it lacks a doorman, garage, health club, or roof deck, it offers basement storage and a small canopy with sidewalk landscaping. The neighborhood has seen significant upgrades, particularly with the completion of Sotheby's nearby, and is conveniently located near various hospitals and Rockefeller University.

Residents enjoy a range of apartment features, including spacious layouts with hardwood floors, large windows, and ample closet space. Many units have been updated with modern kitchens that include stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry. Bathrooms often feature elegant finishes such as glass-enclosed showers and designer tile work. The building is pet-friendly on a case-by-case basis and allows for unlimited subletting after two years of residency, making it an attractive option for both owners and investors.

Accessibility is a key advantage, with the Q subway line and several bus routes nearby, including crosstown service on 72nd Street. The vibrant nightlife along First and Second Avenues, along with a variety of dining options, enhances the appeal of this Upper East Side location. The building's amenities include a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry, and bike storage, contributing to a comfortable urban living 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.
