Overview of 420 East 72nd Street

420 East 72nd Street was built in 1962 and converted to co-op apartments in 1984. The 19-story building is a well-established and maintained cooperative with excellent financials.

420 East 72nd Street offers an elegant lobby, renovated hallways, a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, common laundry facility, and onsite parking garage that is currently wait-listed. Discounted bulk rates on cable, internet and phone service are available.

Best of all is the location between 1st and York Avenues, near shopping, restaurants, food markets, the East River, FDR Drive, and Q subway station. Co-purchasers, pied-a-terres, and pets are permitted with board approval.

Carter’s Review

"This 19-story apartment building is just half a block away from Sotheby's, the auction house, on York Avenue. Since this building was erected in 1962, the area has undergone considerable redevelopment with many new luxury high-rise towers that have led to a substantial gentrification of the neighborhood. The attractive building has 188 apartments, most with large picture windows, and was converted to a cooperative in 1984. The white-brick building has a handsome lobby and canopied entrance with doorman and concierge desk. The area has many excellent restaurants and good neighborhood shopping and is also close to the hospitals along York Avenue."
