The Creston is a prewar Renaissance Revival building from 1901, converted to a cooperative in 1992. It offers amenities like elevator, pet-friendly policy, and storage, and is located near parks and convenient shopping.
The Creston is a 1925, seven story pre-war co-op with 43 apartments at 839 West End Avenue, on the rounded corner of West 101st Street. Attributed to architect George F. Pelham, its Renaissance Revival design has a two story rusticated limestone base, a marble lobby, a wrought iron perimeter fence, and arched and angled windows along the top floor.
Classic six plans recur, with formal living and dining rooms, high ceilings, hardwood floors, windowed kitchens, and former service rooms that have been adapted as bedrooms, dens, or offices. Renovated layouts often open the kitchen to the main living space, while exposed brick, decorative fireplaces, pocket doors, bowed or bay windows, and in-unit laundry also recur.
The building has resident storage, a bike room, central laundry, and a live-in superintendent, and pets are permitted. Riverside Park is one block west, while the 96th Street station at Broadway, served by the 1, 2, and 3 trains, is about five blocks southeast.

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.
