The Crestmont, designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela in 1923-1924, is a distinguished 15-story prewar cooperative at 522 West End Avenue. The beige brick building, which was converted to a cooperative in 1973, contains 58 apartments and showcases classic architectural elements including terra cotta decoration, an impressive arched two-story entrance with bronze doors, decorative gargoyles, and ornate window treatments.
The building's architectural character is defined by its thoughtful design elements, including distinctive bandcourses at multiple levels and decorative arched elements adorning windows on the third and penultimate floors. The entrance is enhanced by a doorman station and canopy, setting the tone for the building's elegant atmosphere.
Residents enjoy full-service amenities including a 24-hour doorman, long-serving live-in superintendent, private planted garden, bicycle storage, and central laundry facilities. The building maintains a welcoming marble lobby that preserves its prewar character while providing modern convenience.
Situated in a prime Upper West Side location, The Crestmont offers exceptional accessibility, positioned just one block from Riverside Park and two blocks from the Broadway subway station. The neighborhood provides easy access to some of the area's finest establishments, including Zabar's, Citarella, and Fairway Market, along with numerous restaurants and shopping options.
The cooperative maintains resident-friendly policies, allowing pets and pied-a-terres, with financing permitted up to 75% and subletting available with board approval. This combination of architectural distinction, full-service amenities, and prime location has established The Crestmont as a notable presence on West End Avenue.

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.
