175 W 93Rd St

The Westwind is a 16-story, 63-unit prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side of Manhattan completed in 1928 and designed by noted architect Rosario Candela. The masonry façade conceals classic Candela layouts: two- and three-bedroom residences with high beamed ceilings, picture-frame moldings, original hardwood floors, and multiple large windows that provide cross-lighting in many units. Typical apartments feature formal entry foyers, separate dining rooms or dining areas, generous closet storage including walk-ins, windowed kitchens with modernized appliances and granite counters, and renovated baths with soaking tubs. Building services combine old-world character with full-service conveniences: a beautifully restored lobby, 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator access, on-site laundry room, bike storage, and rentable private storage. Pet-friendly policies and board flexibility allow pied-à-terre, co-purchasing, and washer/dryer installations with approval; financing up to 75% is permitted. The Westwind sits at West 93rd and Amsterdam, a tree-lined block equidistant from Central and Riverside Parks and adjacent to express 1/2/3 and B/C subway access, groceries (Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s), shops, and cultural institutions, supporting an active, walkable Upper West Side lifestyle.
