A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Beaumont 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.
The Beaumont is a full-service Lincoln Square condominium, built in 1982 on West 61st Street between Broadway and Columbus — a location that sits almost exactly midway between Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center, one block from Central Park and steps from the 59th Street–Columbus Circle subway complex. It is a sheer, well-proportioned brick tower whose plan is prized for its many corner-window apartments, and it delivers a genuine full-service package in one of the most connected pockets of the Upper West Side.
The building has two distinguishing structural features. Its lower floors are professional and office space with a separate West 61st Street entrance, giving the residential tower a mixed-use base and its own dedicated residential lobby above. And at the top, five duplex penthouses each carry a private roof deck and a wood-burning fireplace — a rare amenity combination that anchors the building's premium inventory. In between, the corner-window layouts and open exposures make the standard apartments unusually light for a mid-block tower.
For buyers, The Beaumont pairs a central Lincoln Square address, a full-service staff, and a landscaped residents' courtyard and roof deck with condominium flexibility — pied-à-terre and subletting permitted, no board interview. Prospective buyers should note the building's no-pets and smoke-free policies, which are firmer than at many peer condominiums and matter to the right buyer.
Architecture and unit composition
The residences run from alcove studios through three-bedrooms across the tower's floors, with eight apartments per floor on the lower residential levels and six per floor higher up. Corner-window units are a defining feature and are prized for their light and cross-exposures. Central air runs throughout, and the five duplex penthouses at the top of the building carry private roof decks and wood-burning fireplaces.
The tower's sheer brick massing and its height above the surrounding Lincoln Square rooflines produce open city light on the upper floors, with skyline and partial park and river exposures depending on orientation.
Building operations
The Beaumont operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge and a live-in resident manager. Amenities include per-floor laundry, a landscaped private residents' courtyard with grills, a roof deck, and bicycle and luggage storage. The lower floors house professional/office space with a separate street entrance, so the residential portion operates with its own lobby and staff above the commercial base. Buyer transactions run on condominium mechanics — waiver of the right of first refusal rather than board approval.
Common charges and property taxes are typical for a full-service Lincoln Square condominium; buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level.

Recent sales
As a condominium, The Beaumont is priced per square foot. Pricing spans a wide range, from one-bedrooms through two-bedrooms to the duplex penthouses, which command a substantial premium for their private roof decks and fireplaces. The building's central location and corner-window layouts support pricing, while its 1982 vintage keeps it below the newest inventory on a per-square-foot basis. Pricing varies with floor, exposure, and layout; apartment-level comparable analysis is the correct basis for pricing any specific unit.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,404/sf (floor-adjusted) across 5 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 3.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and layout. The central Lincoln Square position, corner-window light, and — for the top-floor inventory — the private roof decks and fireplaces are the core story.
Set buyer expectations on house rules. The no-pets and smoke-free policies should be communicated up front to keep the buyer pool aligned.
Price at the apartment level. Building averages blend studios through penthouses; recent comparables on the specific line should anchor positioning.

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.
