160 E 27Th St

A midcentury 12-story cooperative built in 1963, this modestly scaled elevator building contains 38 primarily one-bedroom residences arranged across a compact footprint. The exterior is straightforward and functional rather than ornate, reflecting postwar urban residential design. Units commonly feature renovated kitchens and bathrooms, oak or wide-plank hardwood floors, multiple closets, and layouts that include separate foyers, dining areas or flexible alcoves; several apartments offer corner exposures and multiple windows for cross-ventilation and light. Common spaces have been refreshed over time with updated lobbies, hallways, a video intercom system, a new laundry room, rentable storage, bicycle storage, and a live-in superintendent. The coop board maintains flexible occupancy rules: pieds-a-terre, parents buying for children, guarantors and co-purchases are typically permitted, pets are allowed subject to interview, and subletting is available immediately though often requires a fee. Located in midtown Manhattan near Madison Square Park/Gramercy/Flatiron, the building sits within walking distance of multiple subway lines, commuter hubs and neighborhood retail including grocery options, restaurants and nightlife, offering a convenient, transit-rich urban lifestyle.
