The multitude of imposing pre-war co-op’s, condominiums, high-rises, townhouses and brownstones, bracketed by Central Park and Riverside Park, make The Upper West Side one of the most appealing New York neighborhoods. There are very few Lofts, although several apartments have been decorated and configured to emulate Downtown lofts. The feeling of big open space will always be considered a luxury in Manhattan. Services, amenities and public transportation are naturally outstanding.
