A 15-story, dark-brown brick apartment building from 1910 with 63 units, converted to a co-op in 1979. Located near Riverside Park and Broadway, it features decorative elements like terracotta window surrounds and a balcony, but has inconsistent fenestration and protruding air-conditioners.
588 West End Avenue is a 15 story, 63 apartment pre-war co-op dating to 1910 and designed by Schwartz & Gross. Its dark brown brick façade concentrates ornament at the base and upper floors, where terracotta window surrounds carry pediments; a decorative balcony marks the second floor below the roofline. A canopy frames the entrance.
Many apartments retain high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, moldings and formal entry foyers, along with windowed kitchens and baths. Corner and high floor layouts often draw light from multiple exposures. A rooftop penthouse departs from the conventional plans, opening on three sides to a 650 square foot terrace.
A part time doorman and live-in superintendent staff the building, which also has a video intercom, central laundry room, bicycle room and resident storage. Pets are permitted, while pied-à-terre ownership is considered case by case.
The building occupies the mid-block stretch of West End Avenue between West 88th and West 89th Streets. Riverside Park is one block west, with the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument at West 89th Street; Broadway is one block east, and the 1 train stops at 86th Street and Broadway.

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.
