Approx. Prices for Apartments at 164 West 79th Street

This very attractive, Italian Renaissance-palazzo-style apartment building was erected in 1924 and converted to a cooperative in 1978.

The beige-brick, 15-story building has 60 apartments and is one of many pre-war buildings with sidewalk landscaping and seating that make this one of the city's nicest residential blocks. The east end of this quiet street faces Manhattan Square, the large park in which the American Museum of Natural History stands.

This building has a canopied, step-up entrance flanked by lanterns, two-story-high limestone pilasters and a doorman. The building has some decorative balconies and permits protruding air-conditioners. It has no garage and no health club.

This location is right in the heart of the Upper West Side, very close to famous stores along Broadway and a delightful stretch of sidewalk cafés a few blocks north on Amsterdam Avenue.

There is very good public transportation and this area is convenient to the various amenities of the Lincoln Center District about a dozen blocks to the south.
