180 W 93Rd St

A six-story prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side built in 1941, this boutique building of roughly 18 units (part of a two-building complex) presents classic Late Art Deco character in a modest, residential scale. The façade and entrance recall the era with stainless-steel entry doors and nautical-inspired elevator portholes; inside an attended Art Deco lobby leads to an elevator and communal corridors. Apartment types range from studios and junior one-bedrooms to multi-bedroom family homes and larger corner units, many retaining prewar details such as high ceilings, decorative moldings, bordered hardwood or parquet floors, and gracious entry foyers. Common building features emphasize convenience and household support rather than resort-style amenities: part-time doorman service (afternoons into midnight), a live-in superintendent, central laundry room, bicycle storage and private storage bins (waitlists may apply). Several units include or permit in-unit washer/dryer hookups; many listings advertise renovated windowed kitchens and baths, custom millwork, plentiful closets and natural light from multiple exposures. The building’s policies are owner-friendly: pet permissive, pied-a-terres and co-purchasing allowed, with subletting typically permitted after two years subject to board rules and 80% financing guidelines. Located within a short walk of both Central and Riverside Parks and steps from the 1/2/3 express lines, the property sits on a tree-lined block surrounded by grocery options, restaurants, schools and cultural destinations, offering a classic Upper West Side lifestyle that balances historic character with modernized residences and practical building services.
