130 East End Avenue is an Emery Roth cooperative on the park — and both halves of that sentence carry weight. Roth, the architect behind the San Remo, the Beresford, and a generation of the city's most enduring apartment houses, designed this 1929 building at the corner of East 86th Street, directly opposite Carl Schurz Park. The result is one of the most quietly desirable settings on the Upper East Side: a full-service prewar co-op with green space, the East River Promenade, and Gracie Mansion across the street, in a pocket of Yorkville that feels a world away from the avenue traffic a few blocks west.
The pitch is location and pedigree at a relatively intimate scale. At sixteen stories and just 46 residences, the building is small enough to feel personal and well-staffed enough to live like a far larger one. For buyers who value light, river air, and a genuine Roth prewar address — without the trophy pricing of the Fifth and Park co-ops — 130 East End is exactly the kind of building that rewards a serious look.
Architecture and unit composition
Emery Roth's apartment houses are defined by their proportion and their restraint, and 130 East End is a confident example: a sixteen-story masonry elevation in his measured classical idiom, anchored by a dignified entrance and detailed with the cornice and window rhythm that mark a Roth building of the late 1920s. The park-facing exposure is the building's defining asset — its eastern and southern lines open to Carl Schurz Park, the promenade, and the river beyond.
The 46 residences run to the gracious prewar norms of the period: high beamed ceilings, separate entry foyers, hardwood floors, and the formal living-and-dining flow of the era, with the higher-floor and park-facing lines carrying the light and views that define the building's top tier. The relatively low unit count means generously scaled apartments and a stable shareholder roster.
Building operations
This is a full-service cooperative — a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, and a porter staff keeping the building and its public spaces in order around the clock — with the practical infrastructure a prewar building expects: central laundry, a bike room, and private storage. Purchases clear through a standard cooperative board application and interview, and buyers should review the building's financing and policy posture and reserve position as part of diligence, as at any well-run prewar co-op of this caliber.

What to know if you’re buying
The case is straightforward and strong: an Emery Roth prewar cooperative directly on Carl Schurz Park, full-service, at an intimate 46-unit scale, with the light and river air that East End Avenue is prized for. The decisive variable is exposure — the gap between a park-facing high floor and an interior line is large here, so see several apartments and weigh the view against the price. Plan for a cooperative board application and interview, and read the building's financials and reserve posture before you commit. We help buyers benchmark the line, weigh the exposures, and prepare a board package that clears.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the two things no competitor can replicate: the Emery Roth pedigree and the park-and-river setting. A light-filled, well-maintained apartment with a park exposure in a Roth prewar on East End Avenue is a genuinely scarce offering, and that scarcity is the marketing core. Price to the building's recent comparable lines and to the East End Avenue prewar set, prepare the apartment to show its light and its view, and keep the board package clean and complete to hold the deal on schedule. We position resales here against the comparable park-facing prewar cooperatives of East End Avenue and Gracie Square.
