This ordinary six-story apartment building is located in a desirable area surrounded by handsome buildings in New York. Despite its lack of amenities, it benefits from proximity to Riverside Park, subway access, and ongoing neighborhood improvements.
300 West 72nd Street is a six story, 34 residence co-op designed by H. Herbert Lilien and completed in 1941 at the corner of West End Avenue. Known as The Lilien, the white brick building combines Moderne and Art Deco elements and retains original terrazzo flooring and period decoration in its common areas. Its apartments were converted to cooperative ownership in 1983, and the building is part of the West End Collegiate Historic District.
The layouts are defined by generous entry foyers opening through arches to sunken living rooms, often with space for dining. Hardwood floors, windowed kitchens, substantial closets and bedrooms sized for king beds recur, while curved moldings and built in bookshelves reinforce the period design. Ceiling heights reach 9 feet in several residences, including top floor homes, and corner layouts can have multiple exposures and views toward Riverside Park.
A live-in resident manager oversees the building, which has a video intercom with remote front door access, a laundry room, bicycle storage and resident storage. The co-op permits pets, pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing and gifting, with subletting allowed under building rules.
Riverside Park and the Hudson River paths are half a block west, with the Eleanor Roosevelt Monument and dog run close to the end of West 72nd Street. The 72nd Street station at Broadway, served by the 1, 2 and 3 trains, is one block east. Fairway, Trader Joe’s and Zabar’s are also in the surrounding Upper West Side neighborhood, and Lincoln Center is several blocks south.

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.
