45 East 82nd Street is the P.S. 6 playground-facing prewar cooperative — a 1913 building whose front-facing apartments look directly into the playground of P.S. 6 (the Lillian Devereux Blake School), one of the most-sought public elementary schools in NYC.
For family buyers prioritizing zoned-school access, no feature carries more weight than the P.S. 6 playground adjacency — among the most consequential structural advantages any UES cross-street coop can offer. The building's form is itself a curiosity: a twin-building Madison Avenue block-pair configuration in which public records flags 45 East 82nd as "nearly identical" to its twin at 40 East 83rd Street, sharing the same 1958 conversion and 56-unit count after the two were developed as a paired block-pair. Both trace back to a 1913 early-prewar vintage that places the building in the earliest cohort of institutional UES apartment houses.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01494-0023) 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
The P.S. 6 playground adjacency is structurally distinguishing. For family buyers prioritizing zoned-school access, the most direct expression of that priority in the UES.
The 1913 early-prewar vintage places the building in the earliest cohort of institutional UES apartment houses.
The twin-building configuration with 40 East 83rd is real architectural-history context. public records confirms the paired Madison Avenue block-pair development.
The Metropolitan Museum Historic District designation provides exterior protection.
The reserved amenity layer — no sidewalk landscaping, health club, or garage — should be evaluated against buyer expectations.
