Overview of Belmont 79 at 230 East 79th Street

Belmont 79 is a 19 story, 106 unit post-war cooperative at 230 East 79th Street in Lenox Hill, completed in 1965. The mid-block white brick building rises from a polished black granite base, with sidewalk landscaping, a canopied entrance, and angled bay windows near the upper floors. Residence 19B is an atypical corner alcove studio organized around a 10 by 25 foot terrace with south, east, and north exposures.

Windowed kitchens recur in both open and separate layouts, and several plans incorporate flexible dining or work alcoves. Hardwood and parquet floors, generous closets, and open city views are recurring apartment attributes, particularly on higher floors. The building has a full time doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry room, package room, and updated lobby and hallways.

The Yorkville Library is next door, while Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are about half a mile west. The 6 train stops at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue, and the Q stops at 72nd Street and Second Avenue. The co-op permits pied-à-terre ownership and co purchasing, allows financing up to 75 percent, and considers sublets with board approval; pets are not permitted.

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.
