A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 2 West 67th Street 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.
2 West 67th Street — addressed on the avenue as 70 Central Park West — is one of the great artists' studio cooperatives of the West 67th Street colony, the early-20th-century cluster of buildings that drew painters, sculptors, and writers to the block between Central Park West and Columbus. Completed in 1919 by Rich & Mathesius and designed in the Arts and Crafts idiom, it sits on the corner of the park, across from Tavern on the Green, and remains one of the most sought-after addresses on Central Park West.
What makes the building unusual is what made the colony: the double-height studios. Many of the 69 residences are duplexes built around dramatic studio rooms reaching roughly 19 feet, originally conceived as working light-filled artists' spaces and now among the most distinctive apartments in Manhattan. The combination — a corner-park position, genuine architectural pedigree, and volumes that newer construction simply cannot reproduce — is the building's enduring draw.
Architecture and unit composition
Rich & Mathesius worked in a deliberately textural Arts and Crafts vocabulary: rough brick façades, delicately worked copper detailing, and a limestone base, with copper trim standing in for the projecting cornice typical of the era. The result is a 15-story building that reads as crafted rather than monumental — appropriate to its origins as an artists' building.
Inside, the plans vary floor to floor, a legacy of the studio program. Roughly two dozen apartments are duplexes built around the double-height studio rooms, with the remainder configured as more conventional simplexes. The upper homes capture direct Central Park views across the avenue. A furnished roof deck overlooking the park and private resident storage round out the building, which contributes to the West 67th Street Artists' Colony Historic District.
Building operations
2 West 67th Street is run as a white-glove cooperative, staffed by a 24-hour doorman and a live-in resident manager, with a furnished park-facing roof deck and storage on premises. The building is pet-friendly. As with the marquee pre-war cooperatives of Central Park West, the board reviews purchases through a full application and interview, financing is conservative, and primary residence is the norm — this is an end-user building, not an investor's market. The historic-district designation governs exterior alterations.

Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
The studio duplexes are the prize — and the premium. Expect the double-height layouts to command a clear premium over the building's simplex apartments; if volume and park views are the goal, this is one of the few buildings in Manhattan that delivers them. The building is pet-friendly. Plan for a conservative financing posture and a substantial down payment, plus the post-closing liquidity a Central Park West board expects. Expect a full board package and interview — this is a prestige pre-war cooperative with a discerning board. The reward is an apartment with genuine architectural distinction in a landmarked artists' colony directly on the park.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architecture and the colony. The Arts and Crafts pedigree, the double-height studios, the corner-park position, and the historic-district provenance are exactly the story Central Park West buyers respond to — foreground them. Price the duplexes to their own comparison set — the relevant benchmarks are the other West 67th Street studio buildings and prime Central Park West pre-war stock, not conventional Upper West Side apartments. Stage to the volume. The double-height rooms are the differentiator; a presentation that captures the light and ceiling height sells the apartment. Prepare buyers for the board; we vet buyers for board-readiness before an accepted offer so a deal at this level proceeds cleanly.

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.
