Overview of Lincoln Towers at 165 West End Avenue

Lincoln Towers, completed in 1959 and converted to a cooperative in 1986, is one of eight 28-story buildings designed by S. J. Kessler & Sons as part of the historic Lincoln Square Urban Renewal Project. This full-service building contains 508 apartments within the larger 3,897-unit complex that spans from 66th to 70th Streets between Amsterdam Avenue and Freedom Place.

The building offers a comprehensive suite of amenities including 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, fitness center, children's playroom, bicycle storage, and an on-site parking garage. A distinguishing feature is residents' exclusive access to a private 5-acre park featuring manicured gardens, basketball and pickleball courts, playground, and picnic areas.

Apartments range from alcove studios to spacious two-bedrooms, many offering impressive city or Hudson River views. Units typically feature generous closet space and flexible layouts, with some including private terraces. The building's maintenance includes all utilities. Located two blocks from Lincoln Center, the property provides convenient access to both Central and Riverside Parks, as well as the cultural attractions and amenities of the Upper West Side.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-staffed" residence offers "convenient living" with full-service amenities including parking, laundry, and a children's playroom. The "prime Upper West Side location" puts culture seekers "steps from Lincoln Center," while the nearby 1 train and waterfront provide "excellent accessibility." A "meticulous" board maintains high standards in this "family-friendly" building.

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.
