Building: 310 West 86th Street

The buildings at 310 and 320 West 86th Street are a pair of almost identical twins built in 1915 by the well-known architectural firm of Mulliken and Moeller on a quiet and distinguished block between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive. Each building boasts a stunning and ornate entryway which steps up into a magnificent terra cotta lobby.

The buildings converted from rentals to cooperatives in 1981. There are 12 floors and 34 units in the 310 building, and 30 units in 320. The apartments range from 1-4 bedrooms. These are both full-service with 24 hour doormen, porters and a live-in superintendent. There are bike and storage rooms as well as laundry in the basement. Washers/dryers are also permitted. Pied-à-terres are allowed (on a case by case basis) and is pet friendly. The building allows 75% financing.

The pair of buildings are located just a half block from the tranquil Riverside Park. Travelling east on 86th Street brings you quickly to all of the conveniences of Broadway’s commercial strip – restaurants, shopping, a movie house, religious institutions, subways and buses (including the regular and reliable 86th Street crosstown bus service to the east side).
