Carter’s Review

"The Upper West Side has many twin-towered residential buildings, but not too many twins.

222 West 83rd Street has the more recently cleaned façade"

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "friendly" prewar condop on the Upper West Side offers "prime positioning" across from Zabar's and "steps away" from both Central Park and Riverside Park. The building boasts a "classic marble lobby," doorman service, and "family-friendly amenities" including a roof deck and playroom. "Cultural attractions abound" with proximity to museums, while the "convenient" location near the 1 train and abundant shopping options make this "no-board-interview" building particularly appealing. Purchase requires 20% down with a "streamlined approval process."
