That is the headline, and it is exactly as rare as it sounds in a full-service Yorkville co-op priced under two million dollars. Apartment 15K at East River House occupies the 15th floor of one of the Upper East Side’s strongest cooperatives, a Philip Birnbaum designed building at 505 East 79th Street between York and East End Avenues. The apartment has been thoughtfully renovated and delivers three true bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a private balcony with protected East River and Queens skyline views, and a layout that works for real life. The living room runs nearly 22 feet deep and faces the river. Step through to the balcony, and you are looking across a low-rise landmark historic district, which means nothing is going up to block the sightline. Back inside, the separate dining area seats six and connects directly to a renovated galley kitchen with granite countertops, white Shaker cabinetry, matte black hardware, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, and hexagonal tile floors. This is a kitchen that was designed for cooking, not just for photos. The primary bedroom measures nearly 12 by 18 feet and includes a walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms are each over 10 feet wide, genuinely sized for furniture and daily use. Both bathrooms have stone tile finishes with tub and shower combinations behind glass enclosures. Wide plank hardwood floors and crown molding run throughout, and the closet count across the apartment exceeds seven. East River House runs like a building twice its price point. There is a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a 24-hour attended parking garage, a laundry room, bike storage, and additional storage availability. The board permits 75 percent financing, guarantors, gifting, parents co-purchasing with children, pets (one dog under 35 pounds), and washer-dryer installation, all with board approval. Subletting is allowed for up to two years. The building has completed major capital improvements, including new boilers, new elevators, renovated hallways and lobby, a new cooling tower, and a new intercom system. The location is one block east of Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, which means weekend mornings at the dog run, afternoon walks along the river, and playground access at John Jay Park. P.S. 158 Bayard Taylor is the zoned public elementary school. Brearley, Chapin, Dalton, and Loyola are all within a short commute. Grocery options include Agata and Valentina, Morton Williams, and D’Agostino. The Q train is four blocks north at 83rd and Second Avenue, the 6 train is two blocks south at 77th and Lexington, and the M79 and M31 crosstown buses stop at York and 79th. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private balcony, protected river views, a renovated kitchen, a 24-hour doorman, a garage, and 75 percent financing in a building with no assessments. If you are searching for a three-bedroom co-op on the Upper East Side under two million, this is the listing to see in person. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 3 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 6 - **Sqft**: 1,550 sqft - **Stories**: 19 - **Year Built**: 1963 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,242 - **Common Charges**: $3,977 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Mar 20, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 181 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Building Washer Dryer Install Allowed - Common On Floor - Common Area - Garage - Balcony - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Built-in Features - Entrance Foyer - Granite Counters - Walk-In Closet(s) - Dishwasher - Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Appliance(s) - Hardwood - Security Guard - City - River ### Building Amenities - Garage ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$13,711 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($385,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 85 sales (22%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Upper East Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.3% (74 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 73% (74 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 59 days (79 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 104 days (79 sales) Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $2,990,000 | 37 | | 2018 | $2,250,000 | 40 | | 2019 | $2,089,500 | 36 | | 2020 | $1,985,000 | 27 | | 2021 | $2,003,666 | 59 | | 2022 | $2,120,000 | 75 | | 2023 | $2,100,000 | 45 | | 2024 | $2,125,000 | 38 | | 2025 | $2,237,500 | 51 | | 2026 YTD | $2,695,000 | 27 | Based on recorded co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through July 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for. ## Price and Property History for 505 East 79th Street, Unit 15K Review the recorded listing activity for 505 East 79th Street, Unit 15K, including asking-price changes and prior market dates. - **Last sold**: $1,925,000 on August 8, 2026 | Date | Price | Listing event | | --- | --- | --- | | August 8, 2026 | $1,925,000 | Sold | | May 4, 2026 | $1,925,000 | Entered contract | | March 20, 2026 | $1,925,000 | Listed for sale by Compass | ## Upper East Side Overview of Upper East Side [Explore Upper East Side](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/upper-east-side) · [All Neighborhoods](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods) ### Nearby Upper East Side - [Central Park real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/central-park) - [Roosevelt Island real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/roosevelt-island) - [Upper West Side real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/upper-west-side) - [Midtown real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/midtown) - [Theater District real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/theater-district) - [East Harlem real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/east-harlem) ## Related Links - [Upper East Side neighborhood guide](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/upper-east-side) - [Estimate your Buyer Commission Share and closing costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/buyer-closing-cost-calculator) - [Contact Régis Roumila](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/contact) --- > RLS IDX Data display by Real Estate Rebate Team.
