Carter’s Review

"One of several beige-brick apartment houses built shortly after World War II in the 60's on Fifth Avenue, this 19-story cooperative apartment house at 870 Fifth Avenue on the northeast corner at 68th Street has 94 apartments.

The building was erected in 1949 by Simon Brothers and designed by William I. Hohauser and originally had 106 apartments."

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.
