A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 1562 York Avenue would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
1562 York Avenue is a standout example of the mid-1960s Yorkville elevator cooperative — a 21-story, 189-unit building from 1965, occupying the East 83rd Street corner where the far-eastern Upper East Side filled in with full-service apartment houses for a growing professional and family population. Unlike the limestone-and-terra-cotta pre-war stock of Park and Fifth, buildings of this type were engineered for everyday function: a clean brick envelope, reliable elevators, and floor plans that delivered light and practicality. What distinguishes 1562 York is the unusual depth of its amenity package for the era.
Yorkville's character is central to the building's appeal. This is one of the Upper East Side's most genuinely residential and value-oriented districts, home to a deep mix of long-tenured cooperators and newer arrivals drawn by relative affordability, neighborhood texture, and improved transit. The Second Avenue subway's 86th Street station is a short walk west, with York and Second Avenue markets, cafés, and restaurants at the door, and Carl Schurz Park and the East River esplanade close to the east.
For buyers, 1562 York pairs that location with a full-service operation: a doorman and concierge, a swimming pool, a gym, an on-site garage, laundry, a bike room, storage, and common outdoor space — in a pet- and pied-à-terre-friendly cooperative whose prices can be compared with matched central Upper East Side sales.
Architecture and unit composition
The 21-story building has 189 apartments. The reported approximately 1,350-square-foot ratio uses tax-lot building area, not measured apartment interiors; it does not establish bedroom counts, full-floor layouts or combination feasibility. Review the specific floor plan, systems and any combination approvals.
Higher floors gain open exposures toward the East River on the eastern lines and across the Yorkville rooftops to the west and south. The surrounding context is predominantly low- and mid-rise, but no view is protected without a recorded instrument, and exposures vary by floor and line.
Building operations
1562 York Avenue operates as a full-service cooperative with a full-time doorman, concierge, a swimming pool, a gym/fitness center, an on-site garage, on-site laundry, a bike room, storage, and common outdoor space. The cooperative permits pets (cats and dogs) and pied-à-terre ownership. As a 1965 building, its capital-planning horizon centers on the ordinary cycle of facade, elevator, roof, and mechanical maintenance characteristic of mid-century elevator stock — items prospective buyers review through recent financial statements and board minutes. Many shareholders here also qualify for the NYC Cooperative & Condominium Property Tax Abatement as primary residents.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $846/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
The amenity package is the differentiator. Compare the pool, gym, on-site garage, doorman and concierge with specific alternatives, alongside actual purchase and carrying costs.
The rules are owner-friendly. Pets (cats and dogs) and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted, broadening the buyer pool relative to stricter co-ops nearby.
Review the capital plan. A 1965 building's facade, elevator, and mechanical cycle is the key diligence item — read recent financials and minutes.
Verify the tax abatement. Confirm whether your purchase qualifies for the co-op/condo property tax abatement for primary-residence shareholders.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the pool, garage, and full-service operation at a Yorkville basis. Present those services alongside the apartment’s actual price and carrying costs, without assuming a neighborhood discount.
Price at the apartment level. Floor, exposure, and renovation condition drive value across 189 mixed units; comparable analysis should be line-specific.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Plan on roughly 6–10 weeks from contract to closing, subject to board package and approval pacing.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
