382 Second Avenue is a large postwar cooperative anchoring the southern edge of Gramercy, where the neighborhood meets the East 20s and the corridor begins its transition toward the East Village and Stuyvesant Square. Buildings of this size and era — full-block-adjacent postwar co-ops with several hundred apartments — are the backbone of middle-market Manhattan ownership. They offer something the new-development condominiums cannot: established carrying-cost economics, a deep co-op governance culture, and price points that, on a per-room basis, sit well below both the prewar trophy stock and the corridor's newer condominium product.
For buyers, the building represents the classic Gramercy-fringe value trade: proximity to Gramercy Park, the East 20s, and the quiet residential blocks of Stuyvesant Square, at cooperative pricing that rewards owner-occupiers willing to work within board structure. The size of the building also matters — a large share-count cooperative generally spreads operating costs across many units, which can support comparatively stable maintenance.
Architecture and unit composition
382 Second Avenue is a mid-century postwar cooperative — a masonry residential building of the type that defined apartment construction in the 1960s, with practical, well-proportioned layouts and the solid bones characteristic of the era. The apartment mix runs to studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms sized for owner-occupancy rather than trophy entertaining. Postwar co-ops of this vintage typically offer good light and sensible room counts; ceiling heights and window proportions are mid-century rather than prewar, and finish condition varies apartment by apartment depending on when each unit was last renovated.
Building operations
382 Second Avenue operates as a cooperative, with a single monthly maintenance charge per apartment that bundles the building's operating costs and the unit's share of the underlying mortgage and real estate taxes. As a large postwar co-op, the building is governed by a board that reviews purchases and sets house rules; buyers should expect a board-approval process and should review the building's financial statements, maintenance history, any assessments, and the underlying mortgage as part of diligence.

382 Second Avenue is a cooperative, so the right way to read its market is on a price-per-room basis rather than price per square foot — co-op apartments are typically measured and marketed by room count, and recorded transfers register through the co-op share structure rather than as individual deeds. As a corridor matter, large postwar Gramercy-fringe co-ops have generally traded at a meaningful discount to both the prewar trophy stock and the newer condominium product, with pricing sensitive to floor, exposure, light, room count, renovation condition, and the building's maintenance level. Because co-op apartments are heterogeneous, headline averages are less useful than per-room, per-apartment comparison; we model each prospective transaction against recent in-building and comparable-building co-op trades.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00928-0001) 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.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a board-approved cooperative. Expect a financial review, a board package, and an interview. Cooperative ownership generally restricts pied-à-terre, investor, and subletting use; confirm current policy and any flip tax with the managing agent before committing.
Price on $/room and per apartment. Capture room count, floor, exposure, and renovation condition, and compare against recent in-building and corridor co-op trades rather than condominium $/sf figures.
Maintenance is the carrying number. Review the monthly maintenance, the building's financial statements, the underlying mortgage, reserve position, and any assessment history. In a large postwar co-op, operating economics across many units are central to value.
Mansion tax applies above $1M. Run any prospective purchase through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Buyer qualification matters early. In a cooperative, the strongest offer is the one most likely to clear the board; financial strength and a clean package are as important as price.
Position on rooms and condition. Room count, light, exposure, and renovation state separate comparable apartments; price to where a specific unit sits within that range.
Set expectations on timeline. Board approval extends the contract-to-close window relative to a condominium; build that into pacing.
