Overview of 955 Lexington Avenue

955 Lexington Avenue is a 12-story pre-war cooperative located on the Upper East Side between 69th and 70th Streets. Built in 1924 by Rouse & Goldstone, known for iconic addresses like 1107 Fifth Avenue and 850 Park Avenue, this boutique building features 29 residences that blend timeless elegance with modern convenience.

The exterior showcases a brown-brick façade with a three-story limestone base, a canopied entrance, and charming sidewalk landscaping. Classic pre-war details, such as decorative bandcourses and a garland frieze under the roofline, add to its appeal, while discreet multi-paned windows and air-conditioners preserve the historic character.

Residents benefit from a full-time doorman, elevator operator, and a live-in resident manager, along with private storage spaces and complimentary firewood for winter. The new roof garden offers a peaceful retreat, enhancing the building's intimate atmosphere.

Nestled in a prime Upper East Side location, 955 Lexington Avenue is surrounded by delightful cafes, boutique shops, and high-end dining, with convenient subway access nearby. Local favorites like Corrado Bread & Pastry café and Garnet Liquors are just steps away, offering an enjoyable neighborhood lifestyle.

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.
