Overview of 156 East 79th Street

156 East 79th Street is a prewar building in the heart of the Upper East Side, completed in 1915 and converted to a full-service cooperative in 1967. The attentive staff includes 24-hour doormen, service elevator operators, and a live-in resident manager. Amenities include a bike room, central laundry room, and large storage cages. The building has just replaced the elevators, and the lobby was recently renovated with fresh paint, new floors, new furniture, new lighting, and new art. Pets and pied-a-terres are welcome.

Carter’s Review

"This pleasant, beige-brick, 14-story apartment building was erected in 1915 and is a cooperative with 65 units. The coop allows 50% financing and has a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, and private storage. 

The mid-block building has a canopied entrance and a half-story gray granite base and a two-story arched entrance with foliate decoration. The building has some handsome window reveals on the second story, a doorman and protruding air-conditioners. It has no garage, no balconies, no sidewalk landscaping and no health club. Pied-a-terre and pets OK and washer/dryer allowed with board approval. "

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.
