Add Your Own Comment

This "well-maintained" full-service Yorkville co-op offers "convenient living" with its "prime location" near Carl Schurz Park and Gracie Mansion. The building boasts "modern amenities" including a fitness room and "pet-friendly policies," while the "air-conditioned common areas" and "discounted garage" add comfort and convenience. "Easy access" to transportation via M86 crosstown and 86th Street express subway, plus "fantastic dining options" on Second Avenue make this address particularly appealing. The 2008 lobby renovation adds "contemporary polish" to this "established residence."

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.
