About 160 West 87th Street
This attractive, 9-story, beige-brick, apartment building was erected in 1914. It is a cooperative and has 38 apartments.
The building has a two-story limestone base that is painted gray, a canopied entrance and consistent fenestration. It has protruding air-conditioners but no sidewalk landscaping, no health club, no balconies, no doorman and no garage.
The building, which has basement storage, is nearly identical to the 9-story building with 40 apartments at 150 West 87th Street that was erected in 1912.
This building has a central Upper West Side location that is close to numerous stores and restaurants. It is not far from a subway station on Broadway at 86th Street, which has excellent cross-town bus service.
The neighborhood is one of the city's finest architecturally with many superb pre-World War II apartment buildings and some well-designed late 20th Century apartment houses as well.
