Overview of The Parkway at 49 West 72nd Street

The Parkway is a 17-story, 78-unit prewar cooperative located at 49 West 72nd Street, designed in the Italian Renaissance-palazzo style. Built in 1895 and converted to a cooperative in 1984, it offers a part-time doorman, full-time porter, handyman, and live-in superintendent. The building is situated in a prime Upper West Side location, just half a block from Central Park and close to the B/C/1/2/3 subway lines, making it highly accessible.

The building's apartments are known for their prewar charm, featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows that allow for abundant natural light. Many units have been tastefully renovated to include modern amenities such as stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and updated bathrooms. The cooperative allows for unlimited subletting after three years, making it a flexible option for residents.

The Parkway does not have a health club, balconies, or a garage, but it compensates with a newly renovated rear courtyard, central laundry room, and private storage. The building is pet-friendly, allowing cats and small dogs, and is also pied-à-terre friendly. Notable nearby landmarks include the Dakota and the Majestic, adding to the building's appeal.

The Parkway's location offers residents easy access to cultural institutions like Lincoln Center, as well as a variety of dining and shopping options on Columbus Avenue. The building's proximity to Central Park and the vibrant Upper West Side neighborhood makes it a desirable place to live for those seeking a blend of historic charm and modern convenience.

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.
