220 E 87Th St

A low-rise, post-war elevator co-op on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this five-story building dates to 1960 and contains a small collection of primarily studio and one-bedroom units. The exterior presents a modest mid‑century profile with building awnings and a recently refreshed lobby leading to a passenger elevator and mail area. Units feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, substantial closet and built-in storage, separate kitchens in many layouts, windowed bathrooms in select residences, and practical upgrades such as granite or Caesarstone counters and ceiling fans. Common facilities reflect a neighborhood-oriented scale: a ground-floor laundry room, bicycle and additional storage options, and a live-in superintendent who handles day-to-day maintenance. Parking is not a primary provision of the property; street and nearby public transit options serve most residents. Pet policy is restrictive in several listings (dogs often prohibited), and the co-op enforces typical resale rules including a multi-year residency requirement before subletting. The building’s location on tree-lined East 87th Street puts it within easy walking distance of multiple subway lines, grocery anchors, cinemas, and a dense restaurant and retail corridor, anchoring its appeal as a convenient, value-driven Upper East Side residence.
