230 E 79Th St

Belmont 79 is a midcentury, 20-story cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1964 and later operated as a converted co-op. The building contains a small number of residences—about 28 units according to the provided summary mix—ranging from studios and one-bedrooms to larger three-bedroom layouts, many of which include dining alcoves, dens, and entrance foyers. Architecture and interiors lean toward practical, sun-oriented planning: numerous corner and high-floor apartments emphasize broad southern and eastern exposures with expansive city and treetop views. Common-area upgrades in recent years include modernized hallways, a package room, updated mail room, and a mobile-app laundry system; the property maintains a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent. Apartment-level features commonly cited are solid oak or maple plank floors, central air/through-wall HVAC, generous closet storage including walk-in/dressing rooms, windowed kitchens and bathrooms, and some units with private outdoor terraces of varying sizes. Exterior amenities consist of an inner courtyard and private outdoor spaces attached to select units. The corporation’s rules historically restrict pets and impose co-op policies on subletting and pied-à-terre ownership with case-by-case allowances; financial controls include maintenance charges that may be offset by the NYC co-op tax abatement for qualifying primary-residence buyers. Location benefits include proximity to the 6 train, crosstown buses, and the retail and dining infrastructure of the Upper East Side.
