Historic Emery Roth-designed condo on the Upper West Side
Before there were “stararchitects,” there was Emery Roth. One of the most sought-after architects in Manhattan in the early part of the 20th century, Roth designed the 1928 residence at 825 West End and West 100th Street, as well as iconic residences such as the San Remo on Central Park West and the RitzTower on Park Avenue. He was known for melding Beaux-Arts, Art Deco and Renaissance details alongside modern construction methods. From around 1900 to 1930, Roth “dominated luxury apartment construction in the city,” according to an essay by Columbia University historian Kenneth T. Jackson published as part of “New York: An Illustrated History,” the 1999 companion book to Ric Burns’ “New York: A Documentary Film.” Roth “succeeded in convincing his clients, most of whom could easily have chosen to move to the suburbs, that high-rise living combined elegance and sophistication with convenience and ease,” Jackson wrote. Roth’s designs included elements that are now considered hallmarks of prewar design, and those details are on display at 825 West End: tall ceilings that make for light-filled reception rooms, hardwood floors, molding and large foyers among them. The building was converted into condos in the early 1990s and retains that old-world appeal. It’s also steps from Riverside Park, making it a veritable backyard for residents (including four-legged ones).
Open floor plans overlooking Riverside Park
In Roth’s day, residences in the 16-story building had distinct living rooms and dining rooms, according to historic floor plans. Now, homes offer combined living and dining areas, many with integrated kitchens. Some of the building’s 106 units overlook Riverside Park, while those on higher floors have views of the Hudson River. Finishes vary widely between residences as owners have put their own design stamps on their homes over the years. The building has very few studios and one-bedroom apartments, and larger units tend to stay in the same families for many years. At the beginning of the third quarter of 2024, there were just two homes on the market: a two-bedroom on the fourth floor asking about $1.4 million and a one-bedroom on the 16th level with a terrace priced at $1.6 million. A four-bedroom duplex went into contract in June 2024 for just under $4 million.
Ornate lobby with a full-time doorman
The white brick facade at 825 West End is punctuated with carved stone flowers and copper-clad lanterns. Residents arrive home to an ornate lobby featuring dentil molding, black-and-tan checkerboard flooring, a seating area and brass sconces and chandeliers. The lobby is staffed around the clock, and there’s a concierge and a live-in super. There’s laundry in the building, although many units have washers and dryers, and bicycle storage.
Residential avenue walkable to city parks
West End Avenue has a much chiller vibe than nearby Broadway. The avenue is almost entirely residential, with an array of architectural styles on display. That means less traffic from both cars and people, although there are plenty of dog walkers along the sidewalks. Riverside Park is one block away, with the aptly named Dinosaur Playground, where youngsters can visit a Triceratops statue after hitting the swings. Central Park is within walking distance; it’s about five blocks from 825 West End. Broadway provides bars and restaurants, such as Broadway Dive, with an extensive beer selection, Metro Diner and Manhattan Valley Indian Cuisine. Shops and services also line the famous avenue, and groceries — and a wide selection of pre-made salads, sushi and other foods — can be found at the West End Market between West 97th and West 98th streets.
West 96th Street offers express and local trains, plus a crosstown bus
The building is about five blocks from the West 96th Street subway station on Broadway, where the local 1 and the express 2 and 3 trains stop. The M96 bus, offering crosstown service, also stops at the intersection. The Henry Hudson Parkway also has an exit at West 96th Street, giving drivers easy access to the highway.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
