Building: 17 West 100th Street

This is a tidy, well-run small coop of 7 apartments located on the southern edge of Manhattan Valley, a stone’s throw from Central Park. It’s been a cooperative since the 1940’s and is run in a very egalitarian manner. Recent development along the Columbus Avenue corridor has brought a lot of new energy to the neighborhood along with a Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s and a Starbucks one block away. The building is well-managed, the maintenance low, it’s just undergone a renovation of the common areas, and it’s a very friendly community. Most of the apartments are half-floor floor throughs, and enjoy both North and South exposures. The Penthouse apartment is a combination of the two top-floor apartments. There is good value here.
