400 E 85Th St

400 East 85th Street is a 21-story cooperative building constructed in 1959 and converted to co-op ownership in the early 1980s. The property contains primarily one- and two-bedroom residences with mid-century layouts that often include separate foyers, formal dining areas, and high ceilings; many apartments retain original millwork and parquet or hardwood floors alongside renovated kitchens and bathrooms. Units commonly feature built-ins, abundant closet and storage space, breakfast bars or eat-in kitchens, and a mix of exposures with some homes offering terraces or balconies and skyline or treetop views. Common areas and services reflect full-service urban living: a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, recently updated elevators and laundry facilities, and new fitness equipment. Building amenities also include a resident meeting/conference room, private storage lockers, bike storage, and an on-site parking garage. The co-op has flexible ownership policies—pets permitted, pieds-à-terre and co-purchasing allowed, with occasional allowances for guarantors—and benefits from stable financials partly due to ownership of ground-floor commercial space. Located in Yorkville on the Upper East Side, the building sits within walking distance of Carl Schurz Park, the East River promenade, shops, and multiple subway lines (4/5/6 and Q), supporting a neighborhood lifestyle that blends residential calm with city convenience.
