Gotham House is a well-run postwar cooperative on a quiet, tree-lined block at the crossroads of Kips Bay, Gramercy, NoMad, and Murray Hill — a few blocks from Madison Square Park. Its two defining advantages are practical: an on-premise parking garage, which is scarce and valuable in this part of Manhattan, and notably low monthly maintenance, which keeps carrying costs down and supports resale. Built in 1960 and holding 62 apartments across seven floors, it is a value-oriented co-op with a flexible board.
For buyers, the appeal is a low-cost, low-friction entry into ownership near Madison Square Park, with parking on site and a board that permits pets, pied-à-terre use, co-purchasing, parents buying for children, guarantors, and subletting — all subject to approval. For a co-op, that is an accommodating set of rules.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a postwar low/mid-rise of 1960, seven stories, with a canopied entrance framed by a white-stone surround, an updated lobby, and sidewalk landscaping. Fire escapes and discreet window air-conditioners are present; there is no roof deck and there are no balconies.
The cooperative holds 62 residential units. Active asking prices have run roughly $415,000 to $1,395,000, with median asks around $525,000 and one-bedrooms asking near $563,000. The combination of low maintenance and on-site parking makes it a value proposition on total carrying cost, which is where co-op economics are best evaluated.
Building operations
150 East 27th Street operates as a self-service cooperative with a live-in superintendent, a keyed elevator, central laundry, an adjacent/on-premise parking garage, basement storage units, and bike storage. There is no doorman, no fitness center, and no roof deck. The building is known for very low monthly maintenance — a meaningful advantage over higher-cost full-service peers. Standard co-op financing applies.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00882-0052) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
