605 East 82nd Street

The roughly 159 apartments span post-war configurations across the 20 stories. Many residences carry balconies, and some feature solarium balconies and decorative fireplaces — features that, combined with the river orientation, distinguish the building within the post-war Yorkville stock. River- and park-facing apartments on the eastern flank carry the building's view premium and its strongest light.

Post-war signatures recur throughout: efficient, practical layouts, good light, and the solid construction of 1953-era apartment design. Apartment-to-apartment variation is significant given the building's size — floor altitude, river versus interior exposure, balcony orientation, and renovation history all matter to value, and lines price on their individual merits. The largest and highest river-facing apartments, including any penthouse-level configurations, anchor the top of the building's range.

One Gracie Terrace operates as a full-service post-war cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a porter, and a live-in resident manager. The amenity package is unusually deep for a post-war Yorkville co-op: a fitness center, a bike room, and common storage that are free of charge to shareholders, an on-site garage, a landscaped courtyard, a fireplace-anchored lobby, and central laundry. The on-site garage is a meaningful practical advantage in a neighborhood where parking is at a premium.

The board permits financing of up to 70%, and parents may act as guarantors for their children — a feature that broadens the buyer pool to younger and first-time UES purchasers. The building welcomes dogs. It does not permit pied-à-terre ownership or open houses, so the building reads as an owner-occupant, primary-residence community rather than an investor or part-time-resident building. Buyers should review the current proprietary lease and house rules in the course of a purchase.

Sales context at One Gracie Terrace:

• With roughly 159 apartments, the building produces a steady cadence of closings — typically several transactions per year.
• Pricing spans a band tied to apartment scale, floor, river exposure, and balcony orientation; high-floor river-facing balconied apartments anchor the top of the range, with interior and lower-floor units more accessible.
• The river views, private outdoor space, on-site garage, and 70% financing allowance support consistent buyer demand.

Treat the ranges here as general context rather than quotations of specific trades; the building's sales record updates from public data.

River views and balconies are the headline. The river's-edge position over Carl Schurz Park and the prevalence of balconied apartments are the building's defining advantages, and the eastern exposures are protected from future obstruction.

The financing posture is accommodating. Up to 70% financing and parental guarantors make this an easier purchase than much of the surrounding co-op stock.

It is an owner-occupant community. Dogs are welcome, but pied-à-terre ownership and open houses are not permitted — this is a primary-residence building.

On-site amenities add real value. The fitness center, bike room, and storage are free to shareholders, and the garage is a practical advantage in the neighborhood.

Lead with river views, balconies, and the cul-de-sac calm. The water orientation, private outdoor space, and quiet are the strongest selling points, alongside the free gym, garage, and accommodating financing.

Pricing requires apartment-level comparable analysis. River versus interior exposure, floor altitude, balcony orientation, and renovation drive value more than building averages.

The buyer pool skews toward family and primary-residence buyers. The enclave's calm, the owner-occupant rules, and the amenities draw a particular, motivated demographic.

Closing timelines are co-op standard. Roughly 4–8 weeks from contract to closing, subject to board-package and interview scheduling.
