Overview of The Newbury at 250 East 87th Street

Completed in 1971 and converted to a co-op in 1980, The Newbury is a 32-story, 258-unit tower that was an early high-rise pioneer in Yorkville on the Upper East Side. The building features a plaza with retail frontage on 86th Street and sits set back behind attractive landscaping on Second Avenue, with an impressive entrance and circular driveway on the sidestreet. The co-op is distinguished by its strong financials, no underlying mortgage, and notably low maintenance fees.

The building offers an extensive amenity package centered on its rooftop, which includes adult and children's outdoor pools, a sundeck, a solarium lounge and party room with kitchen, and a gym with saunas. Additional amenities include a 24 hour doorman and concierge, resident manager, on-site parking garage with deeply discounted rates for shareholders ($375), bike room, large laundry facility with 15 washers and 16 to 18 dryers, storage and luggage rooms, and a package room with cold storage. The building is maintained by an attentive staff of 21, including full time doormen, concierge, handymen, and porters.

Many apartments feature balconies, with west-facing units offering open city views through walls of double-pane windows. Common apartment features include parquet hardwood floors, through-the-wall HVAC systems, and generous closet space. Units range from one to four bedrooms, with larger apartments offering split bedroom layouts and corner exposures. The building is pet friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasers, and guarantors, with financing allowed up to 67%. The location provides excellent transportation access, with the Q train subway directly across the street, the Lexington Avenue subway at 86th Street, and crosstown buses at the corner, plus proximity to Whole Foods, Fairway Market, and numerous dining and shopping options.

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.
