238 E 84Th St

A small, mid‑20th‑century cooperative on Manhattan's Upper East Side, this five‑story walk‑up/elevator building dates from 1962 and contains eleven residences. The exterior is modest and residential in scale, sited on a tree‑lined block between Second and Third Avenues. Units are primarily studios and small one‑room layouts with high ceilings and large windows that favor southern exposures; many apartments retain pre‑war character such as hardwood floors and decorative fireplaces alongside more recent upgrades like replaced windows and through‑wall air conditioning. Common areas are compact and functional: a passenger elevator, an on‑site laundry room with included or complimentary use, coded gated entry for added security, and self‑management by the cooperative's board. Pet rules are restrictive (cats typically allowed; dogs prohibited), financing is commonly available up to 80%, and the co‑op generally seeks owner‑occupant primary residences rather than pied‑a‑terres or investors. Maintenance fees are notably low and often include utilities such as heat, hot water and cooking gas, contributing to affordability in a central neighborhood location near grocery options, restaurants, and multiple subway lines.
