Presidential Towers is a mid-century, full-service cooperative on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, completed in 1963 and rising 18 stories with 65 residences primarily configured as one- and two-bedroom apartments. Designed by Morris Lapidus, the block-scale structure features long spans of windows on residential facades and numerous corner and high-floor units that deliver broad city and Hudson River views. Interiors commonly present parquet or hardwood floors, generous foyers and oversized living/dining areas; many units include updated kitchens and multiple closets plus private balconies or terraces in select homes. Common building amenities are oriented toward convenience and city living: a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, on-site garage (with waitlist at times), central laundry, bike room and dedicated storage spaces. Utilities including heat, hot water and often electrical service and central air are rolled into monthly maintenance. The co-op’s governance permits pets, pied-a-terres, sublets, co-purchasing and guarantors with board approval, and allows up to 75% financing in many cases. Situated between West End Avenue and Freedom Place near Lincoln Center and both Riverside and Central Parks, Presidential Towers places residents within short walking distance of theaters, grocery options (Trader Joe’s, Fairway, Citarella, Zabars) and multiple subway lines (including the 72nd Street express). The building’s scale, service model and sizable floorplans support a lifestyle that blends cultural access, strong transit connectivity and spacious Upper West Side living.
