Carter’s Review

"Lincoln Spencer Arts is a 12-story residential cooperative building at 140 West 69th Street with 237 apartments.

The ornate, pre-war, Beaux-Arts-style building has a two-story stone base, a pronounced and very decorative bandcourse above the third floor, a lesser one above the 10th floor, and a nice projecting cornice and many bay windows and some wrought-iron balconies."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" prewar building offers "stunning" high-ceilinged apartments in a "prime" Upper West Side location that's "steps from everything." The "full-service" residence features a "beautiful lobby with fresh flowers," "helpful staff," and units ranging from "excellent studios" to "penthouse duplexes with terraces." Recent renovations have given the building an updated feel, while its location "two blocks from Central Park" and proximity to "express trains" and "great restaurants" make it a coveted address. Some cite "typical city noise" for Broadway-facing units, but most agree the "top-notch staff" and "convenient amenities" make this a solid choice for Upper West Side living.

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.
