Carter’s Review

"This handsome, 19-story, beige-brick apartment house at 1050 Fifth Avenue on the northeast corner at 86th Street was built as a cooperative in 1960 and commands spectacular views of Central Park. 

The building benefits greatly from expanded views afforded it by the handsome, Georgian-style mansion at 1048 Avenue on the south side of 86th Street.  That building  was built in 1914 for William Starr Miller and was the home from 1949 to 1953 of the widow of Cornelius Vanderbilt III and then the Yivo Institute for Jewish Research and was converted in the late 1990's to the Serge Sabarsky Museum of German Expressionist Art and is known as the Neue Galleries. "

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.
