A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 45 East 82nd 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.
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 45 East 82nd is 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.
Architecture and building operations
The two buildings — 45 East 82nd and 40 East 83rd — were developed as a paired Madison Avenue block-pair. Because of a slight incline between 82nd and 83rd Streets along the avenue, this building's floors sit slightly lower than those of its twin. The facade has four bandcourses, regular fenestration and a canopied entrance.
Operations: doorman. No sidewalk landscaping, no health club, no garage.
Location. The building faces the playground of P.S. 6, the Lillian Devereux Blake School at 45 East 81st Street, which keeps the block open to light and air. For a family buyer prioritizing zoned-school access without paying Park-Avenue prices, 45 East 82nd is the most direct expression of that priority in the entire Carnegie Hill/UES inventory.

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.
