235 East 73rd Street is part of Eastgate, a distinctive enclave of six co-op buildings occupying both sides of the block between Third and Second Avenues. Designed by Emery Roth and developed by Bing & Bing between 1928 and 1936, the complex was originally marketed as "East Village" with apartments called "mansionettes." This particular 13 story building was erected in 1930 and converted to a cooperative in 1987. The brown brick Neo Romanesque buildings feature excellent masonry with asymmetrical "knobbing" and random stones that create textured façades, along with gargoyles and attractive rooftop watertank enclosures.
Most apartments retain classic prewar details including sunken or step down living rooms, high beamed ceilings (approximately 10 feet in many units), hardwood floors, and decorative fireplaces, though the fireplaces in this building and its twin at 230 East 73rd Street are non working. Units typically feature windowed kitchens, generous closet space with multiple walk in closets, and windowed bathrooms. Many apartments have been renovated with high end appliances from Viking, Sub Zero, Miele, and Liebherr, along with marble or quartz countertops. The building's penthouse is particularly notable, offering a nearly 1,400 square foot wrap around terrace with four exposures, two wood burning fireplaces, floor to ceiling windows, and approximately 10 foot ceilings throughout.
The building provides full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, resident manager, fitness center, landscaped courtyard, bike storage, laundry room, and additional storage (waitlist). Pets are permitted, and the co-op allows 75% financing. Pieds-à-terre, guarantors, co purchasing, and gifting are considered case by case with board approval. Subletting is allowed after two years of residency. The flip tax is 2% of the sale price. Located on one of the Upper East Side's most attractive tree lined blocks, the building is convenient to the Q subway, Grace's Market, and numerous restaurants and shops.

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.
