The Ashfield, located at 305 West 55th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, is a pre-war co-op building completed in 1920 and converted in 1980. The five-story building contains 20 units and sits on a tree-lined block in Manhattan's Midtown West/Hell's Kitchen neighborhood.
The building's apartments feature distinctive pre-war architectural elements including 11-foot ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, exposed brick walls, and oak hardwood floors. Several units are configured as duplexes, some with private roof decks. The building maintains its historic character while incorporating modern amenities such as a ButterflyMX video intercom system and on-site laundry facilities.
The co-op is pet-friendly with board approval and allows subletting after three years of ownership, subject to board review. The building's intimate size of just 20 units creates a boutique atmosphere with a strong sense of community, highlighted by the block's active neighborhood association and annual tree-lighting tradition.
Situated four blocks from Central Park, The Ashfield offers convenient access to numerous cultural institutions including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Theater District. The location provides easy access to Columbus Circle's shopping and dining, as well as multiple transportation options including the A/C/E, B/D, 1, and N/Q/R/W subway lines.

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.
