120 E 36Th St

Set in Murray Hill, this 1955-built cooperative rises 13 stories and houses studios, one-bedrooms and larger three-bedroom residences. The building has a prewar feel despite its postwar construction.

Residents enjoy a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent and two elevators. A central laundry room and building-managed storage/pantry access add daily convenience. Many homes feature hardwood floors, through‑the‑wall air conditioning, large windows and built-ins. Several units and a penthouse offer private outdoor terraces and rooftop or wraparound views that include the Chrysler and Empire State buildings. The co-op is small and boutique—about 41 units—so it maintains an intimate, owner-occupied character with solid finances and 75% financing generally permitted.

Located on a leafy, historic block between Park and Lexington Avenues, the building sits steps from Grand Central Terminal, multiple subway lines and Midtown workplaces. Pets are allowed under building rules and board policies govern sublets, pied-à-terres and gifting. The neighborhood offers easy access to dining, cultural venues, Trader Joe’s and Bryant Park for everyday errands and evening plans.
