No Mansion Tax: Price-reduced listings on the Upper West Side under $1M

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Monday, December 11, 2023

Among some of our selected deals on the UWS is this beautifully renovated unit at The Oliver Cromwell (Corcoran)

Navigating the New York City real estate market can be quite daunting for a first-time buyer. A prime example is the Upper West Side, where ten apartments are currently listed for over $35 million —mostly in new towering structures like 15 Central Park West, One Central Park, 200 Amsterdam Avenue, and 50 West 66th Street. Once celebrated as a hub of middle-class Manhattan living and recognized as a more affordable, creative alternative to the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side has swiftly transformed into a neighborhood of wealth, featuring competitive private schools, exclusive high-rises, and an increasing number of single-family townhouse mansions.

Despite the influx of affluence, the area maintains its strong ties to the arts and academia, anchored by institutions like Lincoln Center, The Julliard School, Fordham University, and Columbia University. Nestled along its landmark-protected side streets, intimate co-op buildings and charming multifamily townhouses offer relatively affordable apartment options compared to downtown neighborhoods and new developments. Here, we explore some of the best deals: listings with reduced prices, asking under $1 million—meaning no mansion tax!
