243 W End Ave

Completed in 1924 and occupying 17 stories, this Emery Roth–designed cooperative on West End Avenue combines classic prewar architecture with full-service building operations. The exterior presents traditional masonry massing and understated ornamentation characteristic of the 1920s Upper West Side, while the lobby retains period detailing and a staffed concierge/24-hour doorman presence. Unit mix runs from studios to three-bedroom apartments; typical interiors feature high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, hardwood floors, generous foyers, oversized closets (often walk-ins), and separate windowed kitchens with pantry space. Common facilities include a central laundry room, bike storage, rentable private storage lockers, a planted roof deck and garden areas, plus building storage rooms. The co-op maintains strict pet rules (cats allowed; dogs commonly prohibited) and supports pied-à-terre ownership and a permissive subletting policy after an initial ownership period. Located one block from Riverside Park with easy access to Central Park, express 1/2/3 subway service and nearby grocery options like Trader Joe’s and Fairway, the building serves a dense cultural corridor near Lincoln Center, Beacon Theater and multiple dining and shopping nodes. Maintenance structures sometimes include electric surcharges in summer months; a live-in resident manager and porter staff handle day-to-day services.
