40 W 72Nd St

Built in 1926, this 15-story prewar cooperative sits on the Upper West Side just off Central Park. The masonry façade and traditional lobby reflect period detailing typical of 1920s residential construction. Units range from studios to two-bedroom apartments; many retain high ceilings, hardwood floors, formal dining areas, generous closets and prewar moldings while several have been renovated with contemporary kitchens and baths. Residences occasionally include private outdoor terraces of varying sizes. The co-op operates as a full-service building with a 24-hour doorman, concierge-style staff and a live-in superintendent. Shared building amenities comprise a central laundry room, bike storage and optional storage cages (fee and waitlist apply). The property is pet-friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership, gifting and co-purchasing under the board’s rules. The location places residents steps from Central Park, major subway lines (B, C, 1, 2, 3) and neighborhood shops, markets and cultural destinations, supporting a walkable, park-centric Upper West Side lifestyle.
