Carter’s Review

"This substantial structure is typical of the high quality of many apartment houses on West End Avenue, one of the city's finest most distinguished residential streets. The 17-story, 185-unit building was erected in 1924 and converted to a cooperative in 1989. With its attractive decorative terracotta trim and pre-war construction quality, this building, which has some arched windows and decorative balconies, is understated but elegant. Just two blocks from the southern entrance to Riverside Park to the west and an express subway station to the east, this building has a superb Upper West Side location. It is a few blocks north of the Lincoln Center District and just to the east of the north end of the huge new luxury apartment complex rising at Riverside South facing the Hudson River. Riverside South will undoubtedly add to the area's congestion, but will also strenghten its ongoing gentrification."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" Emory Roth prewar gem offers "full-service living" on the "coveted" Upper West Side. The "well-maintained" building provides residents with a "professional" doorman, plus practical perks including bike storage, laundry facilities and storage options, all wrapped in "distinguished" prewar architecture.

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.
