A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 350 East 30th Street 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.
350 East 30th Street is a full-service post-war condominium in Kips Bay, near the southwest corner of First Avenue and East 30th Street. Completed in 1957 and converted to condominium ownership in 1982, the six-story red-brick building sits directly across from the plaza of I. M. Pei's Kips Bay Towers and steps from the NYU Langone medical campus — a location that anchors steady demand from medical professionals, students, and value-oriented buyers seeking a full-service building in a convenient East Side neighborhood.
The appeal is practical: a doorman condominium at an accessible price point, with an active resale market and a healthy owner-rental market. It is not a trophy building or an amenity tower; it is a well-located, well-run condominium that offers the flexibility of condo ownership and full building services at Kips Bay pricing.
For buyers, 350 East 30th combines a convenient East Side location, a 24-hour doorman, and condominium flexibility in a building that trades actively across both sales and rentals.
Architecture and unit composition
The six-story building holds 128 residences in a post-war red-brick envelope, distinguished at street level by a white-brick entrance surround and a stainless-steel canopy. Apartments range from alcove studios of roughly 400 to 465 square feet through one- and two-bedroom layouts; many have windowed kitchens and baths, and some upper-floor lines capture Empire State Building sightlines. Interiors are post-war in bones, with renovation quality varying apartment to apartment and driving much of the pricing spread within the building.
Building operations
350 East 30th Street operates as a full-service condominium: 24-hour doorman, an elevator, a live-in resident manager, a laundry room, a bicycle room, and basement storage. A parking garage sits adjacent to the building. There is no fitness center, roof deck, or in-unit laundry. Common charges and property taxes reflect a full-service building of this age; buyers should model the full monthly carry and review reserves and any capital history during due diligence, as is prudent for any building now several decades into occupancy with a 1982 condominium conversion.

Recent sales

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $987/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. 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 3.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Location and value are the draw. A doorman condominium across from Kips Bay Towers and near NYU Langone, at an accessible Kips Bay price point.
Condition drives price. Renovation quality is a primary variable within the building. Inspect kitchens, baths, and mechanicals and price against comparable condition.
Condo flexibility is real. Pied-à-terre, subletting, foreign buyers, and LLC/trust ownership are permitted under the declaration; closings run on condo timelines. The building's active owner-rental market makes it investor-friendly.
Set amenity expectations. This is a full-service doorman building, but without a gym, roof deck, or in-unit laundry; confirm what matters to you.
Mansion tax thresholds may apply. At this building's pricing, the $1M cliff can be in play on larger units. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and value. The medical-campus proximity and the doorman-condo-at-Kips-Bay-pricing story are the headline for the buyer pool, which includes both end users and investors.
Presentation matters. Because condition drives the pricing spread, staging and preparation materially affect outcome.
Price per square foot against the right comps. Comparable analysis should weight floor, exposure, view, and condition.

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.
