A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Columbus Townhouses would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Columbus Townhouses places multi-level condominium homes within a low-rise streetscape. Garden duplexes and roof-terrace penthouses provide substantial private outdoor space, while an elevator supplies street-level access to the upper apartments. The building dates to the late 1980s, and its service arrangements connect residents to concierge and garage facilities in the adjoining avenue building.
Architecture and unit composition
The homes include two- and three-bedroom duplexes, garden configurations and triplex penthouses. Recent measured apartments span roughly 1,600 to just over 2,000 square feet, with internal stairs dividing living and sleeping areas. Several layouts have three bathrooms.
Garden homes open from the living room to private planted terraces. Atrium-style windows bring light into these lower configurations. Upper homes can have a balcony on the bedroom level and a separate roof deck above, with skylights illuminating the principal interior volume. Some upper living rooms rise to double-height ceilings.
Fireplaces, central air conditioning and in-unit laundry occur within the inventory. The internal stair remains part of daily circulation even where the main entrance is reached by elevator. Private roof decks, balconies and garden terraces differ in how they connect to the apartment's rooms.
Building operations
The condominium has elevator access, video intercom entry, storage and superintendent service. Concierge and garage services are provided through the adjoining Columbus Avenue property. Some apartments have deeded storage rooms, which form a separate component of the purchase.
The thirteen residential tax lots have dispersed ownership; the largest owner holds two. Private exterior areas occupy several levels of the building, including the roof, so maintenance responsibilities can involve both apartment-specific installations and common structural elements.

What to know if you’re buying
Separate the townhouse from its service arrangements. Concierge and garage access operate through the adjoining property, making the agreement governing those services a meaningful part of this condominium purchase. A deeded storage room and an apartment's private outdoor rights also need to be identified as part of the particular ownership package.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
