A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 310 East 49th Street (Midtown East) 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.
310 East 49th Street is a post-war cooperative on one of Turtle Bay's quietest blocks — a leafy mid-block stretch between First and Second Avenues, a short walk from the United Nations, Beekman Place, and the landmarked hidden courtyard at Amster Yard. Built as a rental in 1959 and converted to a co-op in 1984, it is the kind of steady, well-run building that trades on light, a good enclave address, and a genuinely full-service operation rather than on a marketed name.
For a buyer, 310 East 49th Street is the post-war cooperative done straightforwardly: a doorman, a live-in resident superintendent, a well-reviewed roof deck, a garden, and the practical amenity set of a well-staffed building, in a cosmopolitan Turtle Bay location, at the relative value a co-op offers against a comparable condominium. The unit mix skews to studios and one-bedrooms with some two-bedrooms, and the building is genuinely pet friendly — a natural entry point into a full-service East Side co-op near the U.N.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a 13-story red-brick post-war apartment house with a canopied entrance, mid-block on East 49th Street, with the clean mid-century massing of its era. It does not carry landmark ornament; its appeal is the post-war fundamentals — light, a well-kept envelope, and the practical virtues of a good 1959 building.
The residences are predominantly studios and one-bedrooms, with some two-bedrooms among the mix; most homes carry the real closets and sensible proportions typical of the vintage. As with any apartment house, floor and exposure drive the experience: higher floors and the better-exposed lines take more light, while lower and rear units trade at a discount. The rooftop terrace, well-reviewed by residents, and the garden and landscaped outdoor space are genuine amenities that lift the whole building.
Building operations
310 East 49th Street runs as a full-service, high-touch cooperative — a full-time and part-time doorman under a canopied entrance, a live-in resident superintendent, a rooftop terrace, a garden with landscaped outdoor space, central laundry, resident storage, and a bike room. Pets are welcome. It does not have an in-building gym or on-site parking; the amenity set is the practical, well-staffed package of a good post-war house, and the full-time staffing is a core part of why the building holds its standing. As a cooperative, purchases are subject to board review and the building's financing and residency policies; the building permits up to 75% financing — a minimum of 25% down — and subletting is permitted with board approval after a holding period.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $657/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 3.2% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a cooperative, so plan for a board process. A purchase runs through a board package and interview, and the building maintains financing and residency policies typical of a full-service Turtle Bay co-op — a minimum 25% down payment, and subletting permitted with board approval after a holding period. Plan for a primary-residence purchase and a standard board review; the building is genuinely pet friendly.
The unit mix is studios, one-bedrooms, and some two-bedrooms. This is largely a small-unit building, which makes it a natural entry point into a full-service East Side co-op near the U.N.; buyers seeking larger family layouts should benchmark carefully and confirm configurations during diligence.
Floor, light, and exposure are the on-site distinctions. The higher and better-exposed lines are the homes that hold value best, and the roof deck lifts the whole building. Benchmark against Turtle Bay and Midtown East full-service cooperatives.
The location is quiet, cosmopolitan Turtle Bay. A short walk from the United Nations, Beekman Place, and Amster Yard, with the E/M/6 at Lexington–53rd Street and the 4/5/7 at Grand Central a short walk away. Leafy, residential, and international in character.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the full-service operation and the enclave. A well-staffed post-war co-op with a live-in super, a well-reviewed roof deck, a garden, and a quiet Turtle Bay address near the U.N. and Beekman Place is an easy story to tell; the building's steadiness does real work in a sale.
Benchmark within the building and against Turtle Bay co-ops. With ample in-building turnover, recent comparable sales here are the first reference point; floor, light, exposure, and renovation status determine where a unit lands, on a price-per-room basis.
Foreground the pet-friendly, well-run operation. A pet-friendly, full-service co-op with a roof deck and garden appeals broadly — position those amenities early.
Prepare the board package early. A clean, complete package and a well-qualified, primary-residence buyer move a co-op sale through the board efficiently — we manage that process end to end.

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.
