Overview of The Corniche at 301 East 87th Street

The Corniche is a 24-story, full-service cooperative on the Upper East Side, built in 1972 and converted in 1986. It offers 141 apartments and a wide range of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, renovated lobby, new gym, landscaped roof deck, children’s playroom, on-site laundry, free bike storage, public storage, and private storage lockers (currently waitlisted). The building has a generous subletting policy, allowing unlimited sublets after two years of residency with board approval.

This pet-friendly, non-smoking building features a polished beige granite base, a two-story entrance with lantern-style lighting, and sidewalk landscaping. Discrete air-conditioning units, corner balconies, and consistent fenestration enhance its architectural design. While it lacks an on-site garage, parking is available directly across the street.

Located on a lively stretch of the Upper East Side, The Corniche is steps from the 4, 5, 6, and Second Avenue subway lines, with excellent bus service. The area offers abundant dining options—including the iconic Elaine’s—shopping, and nightlife. Nearby is the Carnegie Hill neighborhood, home to private schools and cultural institutions. Although there are no immediate parks, the vibrant community and amenities make this an appealing residence.

Carter’s Review

"This attractive, 24-story apartment building was erected in 1972 and converted to a cooperative in 1986. It has 141 apartments.

It is across the avenue from the very handsome Mayflower apartment building that is distinguished by its bold balconies."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "value-oriented" Upper East Side residence offers a "full complement of amenities" including doorman service, roof deck, and storage options, though "maintenance runs high." Situated in a "retail-rich corridor" near 86th Street with "everything at your doorstep," the location promises even more upside with "luxury developments bringing higher-end retail" to the area. While the building shows its age in places, its "prime location" and "comprehensive amenities" make it a "solid choice" for those seeking established Upper East Side living.

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.
