255 West End Avenue, erected in 1917 and converted to a cooperative in 1984, is a distinguished 14-story pre-war building housing 58 apartments between 71st and 72nd Streets. The reddish-brown brick structure showcases classic pre-war architectural details including a two-story entrance surround with canopy, decorative stringcourses, and distinctive window treatments, particularly on the fourth floor and top two stories. The building features an attractive 'broken' roofline and generous 9.5-foot ceiling heights in many units.
The full-service cooperative maintains a professional staff including a full-time doorman and live-in superintendent. Building amenities include laundry facilities, bicycle storage, and a storage room. While the building is pet-friendly and allows up to 80% financing, pied-à-terre ownership is not permitted.
Apartment layouts vary significantly, from well-proportioned one-bedrooms to impressive duplexes. Notable residences include a penthouse duplex featuring a 750-square-foot terrace, and various units offering classic pre-war elements such as high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and generous room proportions.
The building enjoys a prime Upper West Side location, situated just a block from Riverside Park and within easy walking distance to Central Park. The area offers excellent transportation access via the nearby 1, 2, and 3 subway lines, and proximity to cultural attractions like Lincoln Center. The neighborhood is well-served by premium grocery stores including Trader Joe's, Fairway, and Citarella, along with numerous dining and shopping options.

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.
