513 West 157th Street is the five story West End Apartments, a Beaux Arts HDFC co op completed in 1905 at the crossroads of Washington Heights and Hamilton Heights. The 20 unit, pre war walk up occupies a tree lined block near Broadway, with original hardwood floors and other period details recurring in the apartments.
Apartment layouts range from two to three bedrooms, with spacious living rooms, generous storage, and strong natural light. Windowed kitchens and bathrooms are common, as are south, north, and west exposures; several three bedroom layouts separate two larger south facing bedrooms from a smaller room suited to an office or den. One larger two bedroom arrangement is configured so that its primary room could be redivided, illustrating the flexibility of the floor plans.
The building is financially secure and well managed, with a live in superintendent, laundry room, gym, bike storage, and a shared courtyard or outdoor space. It is pet friendly, has a low flip tax, and maintenance includes heat, hot water, and cooking gas. The co op is income restricted affordable housing, with eligibility administered through local government housing agencies.
The 157 Street station on Broadway, served by the 1 train, is less than a block away, while the A, C, B, and D trains are accessible at nearby stations. Riverside Drive, Wright Brothers Playground, the Audubon Terrace Historic District, and the Morris Jumel Mansion are close by, as are Columbia University, City College, and NewYork Presbyterian Hospital. Local coffee shops, restaurants, markets, and bars line the surrounding streets.

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.
