No fee rental located in Upper West Side, between Columbus Avenue & Broadway
Description of 137 West 71st Street
The five-story rental at 137 West 71st Street was home famed author and Civil Rights activist James Baldwin from 1965 through 1987, an honor that is recognized with the building’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was erected as a rowhome in 1890 and converted to apartments in 1961, when it was refashioned with a white-brick, mid-century modern façade. The rental holds an average of 2 units per floor, and sits just a block-and-a-half east of the 72nd Street station of the 1/2/3 trains, a block and a half away from Central Park, and within a short walk to the Lincoln Center and the Upper West Side’s famed shopping and dining destinations.
