Overview of 510 East 86th Street

510 East 86th Street is a 21 story postwar cooperative built in 1959 and converted in 1981, housing 94 units on a quiet tree lined block between York and East End Avenues. The building features an attractive polished grey granite entrance surround, though the red brick façade is less distinguished. Located just steps from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, residents enjoy easy access to green space and waterfront recreation, while the neighborhood offers excellent crosstown bus service and proximity to quality schools and shopping.

The building provides full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman and live-in superintendent, with a pet friendly policy that welcomes residents' companions. Many apartments feature large windows and terraces, with several units boasting panoramic East River views from higher floors. The building permits protruding air conditioners and allows washer/dryer installation with board approval, offering practical conveniences for modern living.

Apartment layouts range from one bedrooms to sprawling four bedroom homes, with many units featuring loft like proportions and flexible floor plans. Common features include hardwood floors, abundant built in storage, and walk in closets throughout. Several apartments have undergone high end renovations with luxury finishes, state of the art kitchen appliances including Sub Zero refrigerators and Viking ranges, and custom millwork. Notable units include ground floor professional spaces suitable for medical offices and penthouse level apartments with multiple terraces spanning over 2,000 square feet.

The co-op allows up to 75% financing and maintains a 2% flip tax, though co purchasing is not permitted. Maintenance fees are notably reasonable, with some units featuring maintenance as low as $1,008. The building's prime Yorkville location provides convenient access to Whole Foods, Fairway, and specialty food shops, while transportation options include the M86 crosstown bus, nearby Q train access, and quick FDR Drive connectivity for drivers.

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.
