Astor Court was designed by architect Charles Platt for Vincent Astor, of the famed Astor family once known as "the landlords of New York." Built in the Italian-palazzo style in 1916, it was one of the first apartment houses in New York to offer a beautifully landscaped central courtyard. Today, the impeccably maintained cooperative spoils residents with 24-hour doorman service at two convenient entrances, majestic marble lobbies, a resident manager, a rooftop terrace, children's playroom, bike room, laundry, parking and a centerpiece English garden featuring pretty flowering plants and mature trees. Pets, pieds--terre, co-purchasing and 70 percent financing are permitted with board approval. There is a 2% flip tax. From its commanding position along Broadway, from West 89th Street to West 90th Street, this Upper West Side fixture offers easy access to both Riverside Park and Central Park, with numerous playgrounds and the lush Broadway median providing wonderful greenery right outside your door. Enjoy fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife venues on the nearby streets, while 1/2/3 and B/C trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes put the rest of the city within easy reach.
