Carter’s Review

"This distinguished, brown-brick, 15-story cooperative apartment house at 31 East 79th Street on the northeast corner at Madison Avenue was built in two parts. The first section, at the Madison Avenue corner, was erected in 1925 and an extension to the west three years later. The two parts are almost seamless, although the cornice line along 79th Street shows the difference.

The building, which was designed by William H. Rowan, was converted to a cooperative in 1946. "

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.
