Overview of 278 West 86th Street

278 West 86th Street is a landmarked brownstone cooperative in the Upper West Side's Riverside Dr./West End Ave. neighborhood. It was designed by prominent architect C. P. H. Gilbert and built in 1893. The handsome building contains 9 units and rises 5 stories, but does not have an elevator. Its amenities include a common laundry room and balconies. 

Although in a quiet location, the building is near the 1 train, cross-town buses, Central Park, Riverside Park, and the restaurants and shops along Broadway.

Pets are accepted on a case-by-case basis.

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.
