Carter’s Review

"The 18-story, red-brick apartment house at 239 East 79th Street at Second Avenue is typical of its era, but it has a bit more flair than many of its contemporaries because it has an unusual entrance that is slightly angled and has a free-standing, stainless steel column.

It was erected in 1957 and converted to a cooperative in 1984. It has 206 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.
