The Manhattan of Manhattan—and Seinfeld, and too many others to name—is still very much in effect in the towers, townhouses, delis and parks of the Upper West Side. From a big-ticket palace in the San Remo to a charming three-bedroom pre-war maisonette that looks like a solid deal, the newly-listed apartments below have location, location, location on their side.

3 beds, 2 baths

Price: $7,795,000

This sprawling apartment in the iconic Studio Building overlooking Central Park was home to the late portrait artist Aaron Shikler and his family for over 50 years. Shikler is best known for his classically gorgeous paintings of the American elite, most notably an official White House portrait of Jacqueline (then) Kennedy as First Lady. Among the most thrilling of the many assets of this grand three-bedroom co-op is the enormous light-filled art studio where Shikler worked–the artist’s fascinating paintings are visible throughout the listing (though we doubt they’re part of the deal). The landmarked 14-story Gothic-style building was designed in 1909 by noted architects Harde and Short as cooperative artist housing. The building’s tall ceilings and large layouts were intended to provide the atmosphere artists needed to work. This appropriately spacious home across from the the American Museum of Natural History is sun-filled and blessed with park views from the living room and the aforementioned studio.
