A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Walton Hall 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.
Walton Hall, at 325 East 72nd Street, is a pre-war Lenox Hill cooperative with something most Upper East Side buildings can only envy: a real landscaped garden with a fountain, plus a roof garden above. Completed in 1926 to designs by Leonard Cox and Arthur Holden, the building converted from rental to cooperative ownership in 1945 — among the earliest co-op conversions in the neighborhood — and operates today as a full-service house.
The outdoor amenities are the differentiator. In a neighborhood where private green space is exceedingly rare, Walton Hall offers a planted garden court with a fountain at street level and a roof garden up top — two shared outdoor rooms whose access, use rules and condition buyers can evaluate. For a buyer who wants pre-war proportions and full-service staffing but also wants somewhere to sit outside, compare the actual outdoor access with peer buildings.
Walton Hall has 60 residences over sixteen stories, with a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent and gardens. Its position between First and Second Avenues places it on the quieter, more residential side of Lenox Hill, with the Second Avenue subway and the avenue's restaurant-and-shopping life close by.
Architecture and unit composition
Cox and Holden designed Walton Hall as a substantial pre-war apartment house organized around its garden court — a plan that, like the era's courtyard buildings, prioritizes light, air, and a sense of arrival. The masonry building rises sixteen stories and is built for the permanence its 1926 pedigree implies.
Inside, the residences carry the pre-war features buyers seek: well-proportioned rooms, real foyers, and the ceiling heights of the period. Across 60 homes, the building offers a range of classic layouts, with the garden and roof spaces serving as shared extensions of the apartments. The combination of full-service staffing, pre-war proportions, and two distinct outdoor amenities is the building's enduring appeal — and a rare one in Lenox Hill.
Building operations
Walton Hall is a full-service cooperative. The lobby is attended by a full-time doorman, and a live-in superintendent oversees the building and its gardens day to day. Shareholder amenities include central laundry, the landscaped garden court with its fountain, and the roof garden — outdoor common spaces that distinguish the building from nearly all of its neighbors.
The building is pet-friendly, and a 2% flip tax is payable by the seller on purchase. Purchases are subject to a co-op board application and interview; buyers should confirm the building's current financing limit, occupancy and sublet rules with us as part of diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
The draw is pre-war scale and full-service staffing paired with two rare outdoor amenities — a planted garden court with a fountain and a roof garden — in a building that is pet-friendly. Budget for the 2% flip tax, which is structured to the buyer, and expect a co-op board package and interview with primary-residence expectations.
Confirm the building's financing limit and sublet policy with us before bidding, and focus diligence on the apartment and the building's finances: the layout and exposure of the specific unit, the maintenance charge and any assessments, and the co-op's reserve fund and capital plan. A 1926 building carries ongoing façade and elevator obligations under New York's inspection cycles, and the gardens themselves require maintenance, so a well-capitalized board is the surest protection against assessments. The outdoor spaces, the proportions, and the location are the lasting value.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the gardens. A landscaped court with a fountain and a roof garden are documented amenities to compare with specific Lenox Hill alternatives, and they are exactly what draws buyers who want outdoor space without leaving a full-service building. Pair that with the building's pet-friendly policy and pre-war proportions, and the marketing story is distinctive.
Price against the Lenox Hill pre-war co-op set, giving weight to the building's outdoor amenities and the apartment's floor and condition. Note that the 2% flip tax is structured to the buyer, which can be a selling point; still, model all customary transfer costs into your net-proceeds analysis. Presentation matters — a clean, well-staged apartment that connects buyers to the building's garden and roof spaces will reward the effort in both price and speed.

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.
