Overview of The Sherwood at 340 West 55th Street

The Sherwood is an 11-story, 55-unit cooperative originally completed in 1924 and located at 340 West 55th Street. Its address puts it close to Central Park, Time Warner Center, Hell's Kitchen's Restaurant Row, and the Whole Foods and transportation options of Columbus Circle. A part-time doorman and live-in superintendent are on staff, and amenities include a gym with sauna, a meeting room, a bike room, a laundry room, storage, and a planted roof deck with grilling stations and jaw-dropping views.

Subletting is permitted after two years of ownership for two out of every five years thereafter. Guarantors, pied-a-terres, and pets are permitted.

Carter’s Review

"If 55th Street between 8th and 9th avenues is the residential centerpiece of Clinton, the 11-story, mid-block building at 340 West 55th Street must be its Gilbraltar, or impressive landmark.

A modest building, it does not have much to flaunt, yet it is surprisingly robust in its bearing, a discrete stanchion."
