340 E 83Rd St

A low-rise prewar cooperative on the Upper East Side, this five-story walk-up dates to 1920 and contains primarily studios and one-bedroom apartments. The masonry façade and modest scale reflect typical early-20th-century residential blocks; interiors retain period touches such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, and oversized south-facing windows. Units commonly feature eat-in kitchens with islands or breakfast nooks, pantry or extra storage and entry foyers with multiple closets. Several apartments open directly onto a planted private garden or rear patio, creating rare outdoor space for a building of this size. Common exterior amenities are limited to the garden; there is no doorman or elevator service and access is by stairs. The coop’s rules historically permit subletting, co-purchasing, and pied-à-terre ownership in many cases, while pet ownership and guarantors are frequently restricted—policies vary by unit. Located on a tree-lined block between 1st and 2nd Avenues near Carl Schurz Park and the East River Esplanade, the building sits within easy walking distance of the Second Avenue Q stop and other subway connections, neighborhood shops, groceries and dining, offering a quieter residential feel within Manhattan.
