Broker & Buyer Comments

This "impressive" Upper West Side high-rise offers "full-service luxury living" with its "massive" 500+ unit presence at 70th & West End. "Impeccably staffed" with 24/7 doorman service and on-site management, this "amenity-rich" residence features a health club, playroom, and storage facilities. "Prime location" one block from Riverside promenade with "convenient" transportation access including cross-town bus at doorstep. While "strictly managed" with conservative policies, the building delivers "comprehensive services" in a "coveted" Upper West Side setting.

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.
