Overview of The Amherst at 401 East 74th Street

The Amherst is a post-war cooperative located at 401 East 74th Street. A resident manager and 24-hour concierge are on staff, and amenities include a gym, community/children's room, central laundry room, attrached garage, courtyard, and rooftop gardens with dining tables and chairs. The hallways, elevators, and amenity spaces have recently been renovated, and the building has been updated with a new high efficiency co-generator, a gas boiler, and LED fixtures throughout. Residents benefit from bulk rate Con Edison bills.

The Amherst is located in a friendly Upper East Side neighborhood with easy access to Central Park, the East River Promenade, and the Q train. Pets and pied-a-terres are permitted, but in-unit washer/dryers are not.

Carter’s Review

"This 20-story, red-brick apartment house is impressive because of the simple setbacks with angled corners of its top five floors that give it an unexpected gracefulness given its imposing mass. Built in 1959, it was converted to a cooperative in 1989. Most of its 250 apartments have very broad picture windows. Convenient to neighborhood shopping, the building, which has a doorman and concierge, is also near many popular restaurants and just a few blocks away from Sotheby's, the auction house, at York Avenue and 72nd Street. Crosstown buses run on 72nd Street, two blocks away."

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.
