250 E 87Th St

A full-service cooperative tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this 30-story residence built in 1971 contains about 75 one-bedroom units alongside larger convertible and multi-room homes. The brick-and-glass massing reads as a high-rise apartment block with a stepped roofline and planted setbacks that create usable outdoor terraces and a landscaped courtyard. Interiors vary from renovated one-bedroom layouts to expansive converted three-bedroom corner residences; many units feature dining areas, dens or alcoves, abundant closet storage and through-the-wall HVAC systems. Shared spaces emphasize recreation and convenience: a rooftop suite with adult and kiddie pools, solarium/party room with catering kitchen, gym and changing rooms, plus a landscaped garden and roof deck. Practical infrastructure includes an on-site bike room, large laundry facility, storage rooms, luggage/package handling and a deeply discounted garage with direct building access for shareholders. The building operates with a staffed white-glove service model—full-time doormen, concierge, resident manager and maintenance team—and maintains strong co-op financials with relatively low maintenance fees and flexible policies that commonly permit pets, pied-à-terres and guarantors. The location places residents between Central Park and Carl Schurz Park with immediate access to the Second Avenue (Q) line, multiple bus options and a dense retail corridor anchored by Whole Foods, Fairway and neighborhood restaurants, supporting an active, walkable city lifestyle.
