609 Columbus Ave

A mid-rise cooperative constructed in 1971 and rising 19 stories, this Upper West Side property offers primarily one- and two-bedroom duplex layouts. The architecture is period postwar: a brick-clad tower with a straightforward massing and large windows that admit abundant natural light into many units. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, defined dining areas, entrance foyers, and generous walk-in closets; several apartments are loft-like duplexes with internal staircases and dramatic ceiling heights. Shared spaces include an attended 24-hour lobby, resident superintendent, laundry room, community room, and an internal courtyard/garden; building storage, bike storage and private storage are also provided. On-site parking is available via a garage (wait list applies). Pet ownership is permitted and the building operates under HDFC income and asset limits with specific financing rules and occupancy restrictions. The co-op is undergoing significant capital improvements — renovations to the lobby, hallways, facade, windows and courtyard — while maintenance packages commonly include utilities such as electricity, gas, heat and water. Located at Columbus Avenue and West 90th Street, the site places residents steps from Central Park and within easy reach of multiple subway lines, buses, large grocery stores and neighborhood retail.
