To walk through the Riverside Drive/West End Avenue section of the Upper West Side, one might think the area is dominated by prewar cooperatives. However, a new crop of modern rentals has made its way into the neighborhood. Among them is The Melar, a 20-story rental building designed by Costas Kondylis & Partners and located at 250 West 93rd Street.
Current availabilities start at $4,450/month for one-bedrooms and $7,595/month for two-bedrooms, and the building is currently offering one month OP. According to CityRealty listings, this puts it above the median prices of $3,822/month and $6,793/month for similarly sized listings in the neighborhood. However, the modern apartments and recently updated amenities might be factors in this.
Corner apartment with bright living area
All apartments at The Melar feature abundant natural light, oak plank floors, and abundant closet space. Sleek kitchens come equipped with quartz countertops, Bertazzoni gas ranges, and stainless steel Bosch appliances. Elegant baths offer designer details, large mirrors, and imported Italian tile. Select studios have been outfitted with space-saving furniture, and two-bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows and in-unit washer/dryers. Additionally, select units have private terraces.
The building’s lobby has recently been renovated, and BBQ grills are in the works for the landscaped terrace, which currently offers lounge seating and beautiful neighborhood views. Additional amenity offerings include a fitness center, children’s playroom, lounge, storage, bike room, and central laundry room. Pets are welcome.
The Melar’s address between Broadway and West End Avenue puts it in a prime Upper West Side location near Riverside Park, the Joan of Arc monument, and the 96th Street 1/2/3 subway stop. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and a number of neighborhood restaurants and conveniences are a short walk from the building, as is Central Park.
