400 Central Park west, a 19 story condo with low monthly charges, and over 400 units has only one available condo for sale. It is apartment 19T which is a JR1 that can easily be converted to a 1 bedroom. The apartment features hard wood floors, plenty of closets, a galley kitchen and a beautiful view of the entire northern section of Central Park and a peak of the Ed Koch bridge.

The asking price is $770k. CC $402 per month and taxes $220 per month.

Part of the reason that there are so few apartments for sale is that besides Central Park, you have Whole Foods, Michael’s, TJ Maxx, Modell’s and Bare burger right around the corner. The building offers parking(wait list) for a reasonable $204 per month and has a laundry room, exercise room, bike storage and an easy sublet policy.

Thinking of buying an apartment on the Upper west side?

According to the NYPost, the upper upper west side from 96th street to 110th street is a section of Manhattan to take a closer look if you are considering purchasing. I have lived in this neighborhood for 11 years in Park West Village- where 4 of the 7 seven buildings are condos and 3 remain rentals. Over the last several years, we have seen the emergence of the Columbus Square shopping center with Whole Foods as the anchor and recent additions include Bare Burger and Yogurt land.

Often overlooked and not mentioned in the NY Post article,  the Park West Village condos include 372,382,392 and 400 Central Park west. One of the few condos on Central Park west, prices have risen but still are a reasonable $1500-1600 per square foot on average with very low monthly charges. Common charges and taxes together for these postwar buildings are about $1 per square foot. So a 1140 square foot 2bd/2ba with a balcony can be had for about $1.8-$1.9 million with monthly charges of about $1200 per month. How many buildings can make that claim?
