Located at 500 West End Avenue between W 84th and W 85th Streets on Manhattan’s ultra-chic Upper West Side is this elegant and rare pre-war Condominium. The thirteen-story, eighty-one-unit building offers studios to three-bedroom homes, and boasts every prewar detail expected of a building of its distinction. Completed by notable Architectural Firm Schwartz and Gross in 1915, 500 WEA is Renaissance Revival in style with a limestone, brick, and terracotta façade and features a two-story entrance with Piedmont flanked by ionic piers, among other prized classical architectural details.

This iconic building is an important address within the Riverside Drive-West End Historic District, receiving its designation by The Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2012. Among its numerous distinctions, the revered WEA is highly prized for its architecturally significant row houses, mansions, and other important late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century buildings.

Surrounding 500 WEA is Riverside Park to your west, and Central Park to your east. The Upper West Side is home to many of Manhattans important cultural and educational institutions including the world-renowned Lincoln Center with its twelve performing arts companies and The American Museum of Natural History, to the eclectic entertainment of the iconic Beacon Theater. A world of dining, shopping, and every modern-day convenience can be found within blocks of your front door.

This impressive building employs a door attendant, a live-in superintendent, and a concierge. A laundry room and a bicycle room are available. The distinguished building with its highly-sough WEA address, allows financing and subletting. Pets are also welcome.
