Own in Upper West Side? What it would sell for today

Upper West Side housing is historic brownstones and pre-war full-service buildings, many Beaux-Arts and Art Deco, along Central Park West and Riverside Drive. Buyers weigh that stock against Central Park, Riverside Park and Lincoln Center. Co-op sellers should have the board package and building financials ready; brownstone sellers, the certificate of occupancy, leases and any open HPD or DOB items.
