A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 175W95 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.
175W95 is a rare Upper West Side example of a Mitchell-Lama-era rental building brought into the for-sale market. The 28-story tower was built in 1971 as a middle-income rental and exited the Mitchell-Lama program before an affiliate of the Starrett Corporation converted it to condominium ownership, with the plan declared effective in 2015. Today it is a full-service for-sale condominium — its Mitchell-Lama origin is history, not a current restriction — occupying a full blockfront on Amsterdam Avenue between West 95th and West 96th Streets, steps from the 96th Street express station.
The building's conversion story explains its structure. It was a non-eviction conversion, and the sponsor retained a block of rent-regulated rental apartments alongside the for-sale condominium units — so the tower operates as a mixed for-sale and rental building. For a buyer, the practical reality is a deep, active resale market of individually owned condominium apartments with a full staff and a genuine amenity program, at Amsterdam Avenue pricing that sits below the trophy new-construction tier.
The renovation gave the postwar tower a contemporary residential package: a glass entrance marquee, a landscaped street presence, and a rebuilt amenity floor with a residents' lounge, fitness center, and a landscaped terrace with an outdoor kitchen and children's play area. For value-oriented Upper West Side buyers who want full service, on-site parking, and express-train convenience, 175W95 is a practical option.
Architecture and unit composition
The residences run from one-bedrooms through three-bedrooms across the tower's 28 floors, with a substantial number carrying private balconies and, in the larger units, terraces. Renovated apartments carry white-oak floors, quartz and marble kitchen finishes, and name-brand appliance packages; in-unit washer/dryers are common.
The full-blockfront, high-rise massing produces open exposures on the upper floors — Hudson River and city views to the west and open sky above the surrounding rooflines. Because entrances exist on both West 95th and West 96th Streets and along Amsterdam, individual unit exposures vary widely; buyers should confirm the specific outlook of any apartment.
Building operations
175W95 operates as a full-service condominium with 24-hour concierge and doorman coverage, a live-in resident manager, a residents' lounge with billiards, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor children's play areas, a landscaped terrace with an outdoor kitchen, an on-site parking garage, and bicycle and private storage. Because the building includes a retained block of rent-regulated rental units under separate ownership, the condominium and the rental interest share the building's operations — a structure buyers should understand but that does not affect condominium ownership rights.
Common charges and property taxes are typical for a full-service postwar condominium of this scale; buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level.

Recent sales

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,540/sf (floor-adjusted) across 13 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 0.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
The Mitchell-Lama origin is history, not a restriction. The building exited the program and converted to condominium in 2015; the for-sale units are unrestricted market-rate condominiums.
It is a mixed for-sale and rental building. The sponsor retained a block of rent-regulated rentals; understand the structure, though it does not affect your ownership rights as a condo owner.
Condo flexibility applies with a caveat on pets. Financing is permitted with 20% down; pied-à-terre and subletting are permitted; the pet policy caps at 25 pounds with approval.
Verify exposure and balcony. With entrances on three frontages and a mix of balcony and non-balcony lines, outlook varies widely unit to unit.
Run the cliff thresholds. Check any price against the $2M mansion-tax cliff in the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with service, amenities, and location. Full staff, the rebuilt amenity floor, on-site parking, and the 96th Street express train are the core selling points.
Address the conversion story cleanly. Buyers occasionally ask about the Mitchell-Lama origin and the retained rental block; a clear explanation removes friction.
Price at the apartment level. Building averages blend a wide range of exposures and conditions; recent comparables on the specific line should anchor positioning.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.

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.
