525 E 82Nd St

A mid-century cooperative located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this 12-story, 22-unit elevator building was completed in 1960 and reflects pragmatic, space-efficient residential design. The inventory is dominated by one-bedroom layouts and several larger converted units that emphasize roomy foyers, separate dining areas, and generous closet storage. Architecturally it is unornamented and set on a quiet, tree-lined block near Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade, giving many residences multiple exposures and open views rather than a dense urban aspect. Common areas include a recently renovated lobby, part-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, central laundry in the basement, bike storage, and rentable private storage bins. On-site parking is provided via an attached garage (often on a waitlist), and the building manages energy compliance and periodic capital assessments. Systems-wise, units typically rely on individual fan-coil or through-wall HVAC with building-supplied central heat/cooling in some units. The co-op’s rules are notably flexible: pets of all sizes are allowed, pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, guarantors and subletting are permitted in many cases. The immediate neighborhood offers abundant outdoor recreation, nearby ferry access, multiple bus lines and the Second Avenue subway, plus nearby groceries, restaurants and a year-round farmers market that shape an active, family-friendly lifestyle.
