310 Lexington Ave

A 16-story cooperative completed in 1956, this mid-century post-war building houses 55 residences made up of studios, one- and two-bedroom layouts. The exterior reads as a traditional Manhattan block with a modest setback and a landscaped courtyard and planted backyard patio that provide rare low-rise outdoor moments on a bustling Midtown East block. Inside, many apartments present full-height windows, hardwood floors, and renovated kitchens and baths; common interior features commonly include eat-in or open kitchen plans, breakfast bars, granite counters, recessed lighting, and built-in storage such as walk-in closets and fully outfitted shelving. Shared areas were recently refreshed and include a full-time attended lobby with 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, complimentary bike storage and paid personal storage lockers. For recreation and respite there is a roof deck with expansive city views and a landscaped courtyard/patio. Building policies are flexible for ownership: pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and subletting are frequently permitted (specific apartments vary), and pet policies differ by unit or board approval. Practical conveniences include proximity to Grand Central and multiple subway lines, nearby grocery and retail options, and optional garage parking in the immediate area.
