405 E 82Nd St

A five-story midcentury co-op on a quiet, tree-lined Upper East Side block, built in 1955 and configured as a low-rise elevator building. The property presents a modest, residential scale with a mix of one-bedroom residences that emphasize high ceilings (around 9 to 10 feet), hardwood floors, and generous closet storage. Units often feature pass-through or open-plan kitchens, renovated baths, through-wall air conditioning, and occasional private outdoor terraces or patios under 60 square feet. Common areas are practical and well-maintained: an elevator, a basement laundry room, a live-in superintendent, building security cameras, and intercom entry. The co-op’s governance is notably flexible for Manhattan standards — it permits parent purchases, pied-a-terres, gifting, and immediate or liberal subletting depending on unit and sponsor status; some sponsor sales may circumvent board approval. Parking is not a building feature. The block location is residential and service-oriented, steps from the Second Avenue Q line, other subway connections (4/5/6), buses, Citibike stations, and neighborhood green spaces such as Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade. The immediate streetscape hosts a farmers’ market and abundant retail, creating a lifestyle centered on convenient transit access and classic Upper East Side amenities.
