Overview of 50 West 96th Street

The 15-story 50 West 96th Street was built by George Fred Pelham Inc., a father-son team, as a rental dwelling in the late 1920s. In 1980, it was converted to a 61-unit cooperative. The building's entrance  is distinguished by a canopy, curved archway, and majestic carvings; amenities and staff include a beautifully renovated and attended lobby, live-in superintendent, central laundry room, bike room, and landscaped, furnished roof deck.

The building is conveniently located near Central Park, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, popular restaurants and shops, and the 96th Street subway stop. Pets, pied-a-terres, and individual washer/dryers are permitted.

Carter’s Review

"This is one of the most attractive apartment buildings in the city. It is distinguished by very ornate and colorful terra-cotta decoration that is very spectacular.

The fanciful decorative elements are around the canopied entrance, the base and the top of the building. The building has a doorman, a nice, step-up lobby and arched windows on the second floor above the entrance."

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
