Central Park via Sotheby's International
When most of us think of living on Central Park, the first options that come to mind are the prestigious pre-war cooperatives lining Central Park West and Fifth Avenue. Many of these are situated in historic districts, if not individual landmarks themselves. CityRealty listings show that listings in co-ops in these areas come to a median price of $2.5 million, but the ability to pay is no guarantee of moving in - one has to get past the strict boards first.
Condominium construction is rare in this environment, but evidently in high demand: According to a CityRealty index, prices of condos either directly on Central Park or within half a block of the park have jumped up by 44 percent over the past two years. We take a look at some of the most appealing condo offerings below.
