Overview of The Gotham Town House at 153 East 57th Street

The Gotham Town House stands as a full service postwar cooperative at 153 East 57th Street, completed in 1959. This midcentury building represents the era's cooperative housing development in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods, offering residents a more intimate residential experience compared to larger apartment towers.

The building's location places residents in the heart of Midtown East, with Bloomingdale's flagship store and Whole Foods practically at their doorstep. The prime 57th Street address provides easy access to world class shopping, dining, theaters, and museums, making it an ideal base for those who want to be in the center of Manhattan's cultural and retail activity.

Residents enjoy comprehensive building services including a live-in superintendent for immediate assistance and building maintenance. The cooperative provides practical amenities such as a laundry room, common storage areas, and convenient access to a garage next door for those who need parking in the city. The building also offers an economical approach to connectivity with bulk TV and internet packages available to residents at reduced rates.

The Gotham Town House maintains a no dogs policy, which may appeal to residents seeking a pet free living environment. This policy, combined with the building's manageable size and full service approach, creates a quiet, well maintained cooperative atmosphere typical of quality midcentury residential buildings in prime Manhattan locations.

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.
