Overview of The Metropolitan at 235 West 108th Street

235 West 108th Street is a six story co-op built in 1925 by architects Schneider & Herter during the residential housing boom that followed Columbia University's move uptown. The 37 unit building sits in Manhattan Valley, positioned between Riverside, Central, and Morningside Parks, with convenient access to the 1, B, and C trains at 110th Street. The neighborhood offers proximity to Columbia, Barnard, Teachers College, and Manhattan School of Music, along with local favorites like the Hungarian Pastry Shop, Silver Moon Bakery, Book Culture, Absolute Bagels, and St. John the Divine Cathedral.

Apartments retain classic pre war character with 10 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, original moldings, and oversized windows throughout. Most units feature true two bedroom layouts with separate living and dining rooms, windowed kitchens and bathrooms, and generous closet space. Some apartments showcase period details like stained glass windows, French doors, exposed brick, and tin punched doors. Renovated units have included high end finishes such as Carrara marble countertops, Bertazzoni and Bosch appliances, and custom cabinetry. One apartment was featured in House Beautiful following a 2017 gut renovation that incorporated floor-to-ceiling built ins and hidden storage solutions.

The building provides an elevator, live-in super, central laundry room, bike storage, and basement storage units. The co-op maintains strong financials with low maintenance fees and welcomes pets. The board allows subletting with approval. Recent upgrades have included a new laundry room and video security system.

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.
