130 W 79Th St

The Austin Condominium is a 19-story, 1987-built full-service residential building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Comprised primarily of one-bedroom units alongside larger combined layouts, its masonry façade and modest tower massing reflect late-20th-century condominium construction in a dense, landmark-influenced neighborhood. Apartment interiors commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, renovated kitchens with granite or Silestone counters, recessed lighting, generous closet systems (including walk-ins and his-and-hers arrangements), and multiple configurations that can include private balconies or terraces. Shared spaces emphasize everyday convenience: a 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent manage front-desk services; a small fitness room with a dry sauna supports basic wellness routines; on-site central laundry serves residents without in-unit machines in many units. The building permits pets, pied-à-terre ownership, and subletting subject to condo rules. Street-level awnings and occasional retail define the block; parking is not advertised as part of the property. Located a block from the American Museum of Natural History and Central Park, the Austin occupies a highly walkable corridor served by the 1, B, and C subway lines and numerous bus routes, placing cultural institutions, grocery options, restaurants, and green space within immediate reach.
