Lincoln Square
Neighborhood in Manhattan, New York
New York County 10023, 10069
Ornate townhouses, pre-war co-ops and luxury towers
The architecture in this pocket of the city is a blend of 18th- and 19th- century townhouses, fabulously opulent brick and beaux-arts-style mid-rise condominiums and co-ops and full-service modern residential towers. The West 67th Street Artists’ Colony Historic District is a block of residential buildings developed at the turn of the 19th century for creatives. Pre-war co-ops are typically listed for between $500,000 and $2 million; condo prices range between $1 and $5 million, and ultra luxury residences such as the Tower at 50 W. 66th have asking prices in the tens of millions of dollars. As a general rule, prices decline at the far west side of the neighborhood.Sprawling green space on either side
