Carter’s Review

"This large gray brick apartment is close to the United Nations and the Beekman Place district. both to the east, to the east Midtown office district to the west. The 19-story building was erected in 1960 and converted to a cooperative in 1981. It has 197 apartments. The doorman building has several terraces. This lively area, which has witnessed considerable luxury apartment construction in recent years, has many restaurants and crosstown buses are nearby. The building is not far from the large and handsome park at the United Nations on First Avenue to the eats and many of the city's most important landmarks such as the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Terminal to the south and west."

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.
