221 W 82Nd St

An Emery Roth–designed prewar condop completed in 1923, this full-service mid-rise occupies roughly 15–17 stories on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The building’s exterior evokes classic 1920s detailing; inside, a formal marble lobby is staffed by a full-time doorman and live-in superintendent. Residence types range from one- to three-bedroom layouts that preserve prewar proportions: high ceilings, hardwood/herringbone parquet floors, crown moldings, arched windows and gracious entry foyers are common. Kitchens and baths vary by unit and often reflect modern renovations with stone counters, top-tier appliances and in some homes washer/dryer hookups. Shared facilities emphasize practical urban living: a landscaped roof terrace with seating and turf, a playroom, central laundry, bike storage and rentable private storage bins. Policies are relatively flexible for a building of its vintage — pet-friendly and permitting pied-à-terres and parent purchases; many transactions proceed without a formal board interview due to condop governance. Located in the heart of the Upper West Side, the building is steps from Central and Riverside Parks, museums, landmark food shops and multiple subway lines, offering a blend of prewar character and contemporary convenience.
