Overview of The Claremont at 255 West 85th Street

The Claremont is a 21 story, red brick condominium tower at 255 West 85th Street, completed in the late 1980s. The mid block building features a two story limestone entrance surround leading to a bright lobby, and rises from a six story base to offer open views from upper floors. The building contains approximately 65 units and provides full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, residents' garden, and central laundry room.

Apartments at The Claremont tend to be generously proportioned with layouts reminiscent of prewar buildings. Common features include oversized master bedrooms with en suite marble bathrooms, walk-in closets, and in-unit washer/dryers. Many apartments have private balconies with open views, abundant built-in storage, and large windows that provide excellent natural light. Kitchens typically feature stainless steel appliances with ample cabinet space, while bathrooms often include double sinks and separate showers and tubs. The building's clean, modern interiors contrast with its traditional exterior.

The location on a quiet, tree lined block between Broadway and West End Avenue is one block from the 1 train and three blocks from the B and C trains. The neighborhood offers immediate access to Upper West Side staples including Zabar's, Fairway, Trader Joe's, and numerous restaurants, while Riverside Park and Central Park are both nearby. The building is pet friendly and smoke free.
