Overview of The Hopkins Condominium at 172 West 79th Street

The Hopkins Condominium, built in 1930 and converted to condominiums in 2005, is a distinguished pre-war building located on West 79th Street. The 19-story structure features classic pre-war architectural elements including a limestone base, fluted limestone columns between the second and third stories, and handsome window surrounds on its top floor. The red-brick exterior is complemented by sidewalk landscaping and a canopied entrance flanked by lanterns.

Situated in a prime location between Central Park and Riverside Park, the building offers residents exceptional access to Manhattan's premier green spaces and cultural institutions. The neighborhood features world-famous markets including Zabar's, Citarella, and Fairway, while Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues provide abundant dining options. The area is well-served by multiple subway and bus lines, with a Citibike station conveniently located across from the building.

The Hopkins is a full-service building featuring 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident manager, porters, and handyman staff. Building amenities include a laundry facility, bike storage, and storage units (waitlisted). The lobby and hallways have been recently renovated, and the building maintains fresh flower arrangements in common areas. The property benefits from a J51 tax abatement running until 2040, offering additional value to residents.
