Top floor. Great light. Open views. Prime Location. Low maintenance. What's not to love?
Some apartments just check all the boxes. This one delivers on the things that matter most: light, views, and remarkably low carrying costs. Perched on the sixth and top floor, this sun-filled one-bedroom enjoys open views stretching all the way to Midtown, with southern and western exposures that bring in beautiful natural light. An updated open kitchen with breakfast bar flows seamlessly into the living space, while an updated bathroom makes moving in easy.
And the real standout? Maintenance of just $1,091 per month. A rare find on the Upper West Side.
The location is one of the apartment's greatest assets. Just a few blocks from Central Park and within easy reach of Riverside Park, residents have access to two of Manhattan's most beloved green spaces. The American Museum of Natural History, Theodore Roosevelt Park and the Columbus Avenue Greenmarket are also nearby, offering everything from cultural attractions to fresh local produce. Zabar's, Fairway, Citarella, Trader Joes and Whole Foods make everyday grocery shopping convenient.
Some of our favorite neighborhood restaurants are right around the corner; Barney Greengrass, Eléa, Celeste, and Bustan. Jacob's Pickles is another popular neighborhood destination, while Dagon on Broadway, The Milling Room and Essential by Christophe offer excellent options for a more elevated night out.
Transportation is excellent, with the 1 train at 86th Street and the B/C trains at 86th Street and Central Park West. The 1 train at 79th Street and the B/C at 81st Street-Museum of Natural History provide additional options. Plus there is the 86th Street crosstown bus to get you to the East Side with ease.
