175 W 73Rd St

Built in the mid-1920s, this 16-story prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side contains roughly 45 primarily studio and one-bedroom homes arranged within a Neo-Renaissance brick-and-stone façade. Units typically display classic prewar details — beamed or high ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, crown moldings, generous moldings and large multi-pane windows that provide abundant natural light. Many apartments have been reconfigured (alcove studios converted to junior one-bedrooms) and feature efficient eat-in kitchens, windowed baths, recessed lighting, built-in storage, and generous closet capacity. The building operates with elevator service and on-site staff including a live-in superintendent and a 24-hour door/concierge presence in most configurations; common areas have been refreshed in recent years. Resident amenities emphasize practical urban living: a landscaped roof deck, central laundry, bike room, storage lockers, a small fitness room, and building storage; select units enjoy private outdoor space. The co-op’s house rules accommodate pieds-à-terre, guarantors and parents buying for children, while dogs are commonly restricted; sublet policies vary with board approval. Located steps from the 72nd Street express subway and positioned between Central and Riverside Parks, the property is surrounded by neighborhood retail, specialty grocers, cultural venues and dining corridors that define Upper West Side daily life.
