260 West End Avenue, designed by the prominent architectural firm Schwartz & Gross in 1924, stands at the southeast corner of 72nd Street and West End Avenue. The 15-story prewar cooperative building, which underwent conversion in 1980, contains 75 apartments and exemplifies the distinguished architectural style of its era.
The red-brick structure features distinctive architectural elements including white window surrounds on select floors, decorative bandcourses, and large ornamental stone balconies on its central façades facing both 72nd Street and West End Avenue. One of its most notable interior features is a spectacular vaulted lobby, which has been recently reappointed.
The building maintains a high level of service with a 24-hour attended lobby and live-in superintendent. Residents enjoy access to modern amenities including a newly updated fitness room, laundry facilities, bicycle storage, and tenant storage options. The building's ownership of its ground-floor commercial space generates additional income for the cooperative.
Apartments in the building typically feature prewar details such as high-beamed ceilings and hardwood floors, while many units have been updated with modern finishes and appliances. The building's position and layout allows for many units to enjoy abundant natural light and open views.
Situated in a prime Upper West Side location, the building is just one block from Riverside Park and offers easy access to multiple transportation options along Broadway. The neighborhood provides residents with excellent access to shopping, dining, and cultural destinations.
The cooperative is on track to pay off its mortgage by 2026 and maintains a pet-friendly policy while allowing pied-à-terre ownership. The building's combination of prewar charm, modern amenities, and prime location makes it a notable Upper West Side residence.

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.
