515 West End Avenue is a 16 story prewar co-op built in 1926 at the corner of West 85th Street, converted to cooperative ownership in 1981. The building contains 64 units with just two apartments per floor sharing semi private elevator landings. While the architecture features a handsome two story limestone base with a canopied entrance flanked by pilasters, the building's original cornice was removed, leaving a flat topped profile that contrasts with its darker masonry façades. The building permits protruding air conditioners and has inconsistent window treatments.
The Classic Six layout is particularly prevalent at 515 West End Avenue, with many units featuring formal living and dining rooms, windowed eat in kitchens, and en suite bathrooms. Apartments typically showcase prewar details including 9 foot beamed ceilings, crown moldings, hardwood floors, and generous closet space. Many units have been extensively renovated with high end appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, Bosch, and Gaggenau, and numerous apartments include in-unit washer/dryers that vent externally. Western facing units offer Hudson River views, while corner apartments benefit from multiple exposures and exceptional natural light.
Building amenities include a 24 hour doorman, live-in resident manager, daytime porter, children's playroom, bicycle room, central laundry, and private storage. Mail is delivered directly to apartment doors. The co-op permits financing up to 65%, allows pets with board approval, and considers pied-à-terre ownership case by case. A flip tax of $50 per share is paid by the seller. The location is highly convenient, situated one block from Riverside Park and one block from the 1 Train at Broadway, with easy access to the M86 crosstown bus and neighborhood favorites including Zabar's, Citarella, and Fairway Market.

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.
