Overview of 290 West End Avenue

290 West End Avenue is a distinguished prewar co-op building completed in 1925, designed by the architectural firm of Schwartz & Gross. This 17-story structure features a classic white-brick façade with a three-story limestone base and decorative elements, housing only 62 apartments. The building offers a full range of amenities, including a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and private storage for each unit, making it a highly sought-after residence in the Upper West Side.

Residents enjoy spacious layouts with high ceilings and abundant natural light. Common apartment features include grand living rooms, formal dining areas, and well-appointed kitchens with top-of-the-line appliances such as Sub-Zero refrigerators and Wolf ranges. Many units also boast luxurious en suite bathrooms, ample closet space, and elegant prewar details like herringbone oak floors and beamed ceilings. The building is pet-friendly and allows for a financing limit of 50%.

Located just a block from Riverside Park and in close proximity to shopping and dining options, including Fairway and Trader Joe's, 290 West End Avenue offers residents a vibrant neighborhood lifestyle. The building's recent renovations, including lobby updates and elevator modernization, enhance its appeal while maintaining its historic charm. Notable past residents add to the building's allure, making it a unique place to call home.

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.
