170 East 78th Street is a nine-story, 38-unit cooperative built in the Art Deco style in 1927 as one of the Morgan Studio buildings. No two apartments are alike, but all were designed as artists' apartments with high ceilings and oversized windows to allow for abundant natural light. The building is fully staffed with a doorman and live-in superintendent, and basement storage is available. Central Park, fine dining and shopping, art galleries, and mass transit connections are close by. Pets and pied-a-terres are allowed.

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.
