Overview of 630 Park Avenue

630 Park Avenue, designed by the renowned architect J. E. R. Carpenter, is a distinguished pre-war cooperative building located at the corner of Park Avenue and 66th Street. Completed in 1916, this 12-story structure replaced five row houses and was converted to a co-op in 1954, housing 34 apartments. The building is characterized by its limestone façade, featuring fluted pilasters and a canopied entrance, and is conveniently situated near Central Park and the upscale boutiques and restaurants of Madison Avenue.

The apartments at 630 Park Avenue are known for their spacious layouts and classic pre-war details. Many units boast high ceilings—often around 10 to 11 feet—and large windows that provide ample natural light. Notable apartments include a three-bedroom penthouse with a wrap-around terrace and a grand living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Other units feature expansive entry galleries, formal dining rooms, and well-appointed kitchens, with some apartments having been creatively reconfigured to enhance functionality.

The building has a strong history of notable residents, including writers such as Dorothy Kilgallen, Mary Roberts Rinehart, and Lillian Hellman, as well as celebrated violinist Jascha Heifetz. This rich history adds to the building's allure, making it a sought-after residence for those looking for a blend of luxury and cultural significance.

Amenities at 630 Park Avenue include a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. The cooperative is pet-friendly and allows for 50% financing, making it accessible for a range of buyers. With its prime location and elegant design, 630 Park Avenue remains a coveted address on the Upper East Side.

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.
