A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The 300 West 53rd Condominium 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.
300 West 53rd Street carries prewar-style apartment planning into a building completed in 1947. Sunken living rooms, separate dining areas and windowed kitchens distinguish its interiors. Its six-story height keeps the building close to the scale of the older Hell's Kitchen streetscape, despite its position at Eighth Avenue.
The property became a condominium in the late 1980s. It has 65 residences, including studios and larger one- and two-bedroom configurations. Some apartments have been combined, adding a small number of homes substantially larger than the recurring original plans.
The address sits near the 50th Street subway stations and the theater district, with Columbus Circle farther north. The entrance is on West 53rd Street, while the corner position gives some homes an avenue exposure. The building's service package centers on an attended entrance, superintendent and shared laundry.
Architecture and unit composition
The apartment interiors retain Art Deco-era planning features even though the city construction date is postwar. A sunken living room creates a change in level from the entry or dining area. Separate kitchens and bathrooms often have their own windows, and multiple closets are part of many original layouts.
The smallest apartments are studios around 500 square feet. One-bedroom homes commonly have considerably more floor area, with many recorded plans between roughly 700 and 900 square feet. Larger configurations exceed 1,000 square feet, and combinations extend the range beyond the original single-apartment plans.
Some layouts support a distinct dining area outside the kitchen. Others use that space differently after renovation, so the original room arrangement remains important to understanding how a home functions. A bedroom count alone does not describe whether the dining space, entry foyer or sunken living area has been retained.
The building has a regular masonry street frontage and elevator access to all residential floors. Its six-story form limits the range of floor heights compared with a tower. Differences between street and interior exposures can therefore matter as much as the numerical floor level.
Building operations
The doorman schedule runs from 9 a.m. to midnight seven days a week — confirm current hours with the managing agent. A resident superintendent handles on-site building needs. Common laundry and storage are available within the property.
The condominium contains a commercial tax lot in addition to the 65 residential lots. The commercial interest is assessed in Class 4, while the residences are Class 2. No building-wide tax abatement is identified by DOF, so the current tax framework does not depend on a new-development exemption period.
The C6-4 zoning within the Special Clinton District allows a stated residential FAR of 10.0, above the building's existing 3.97.
Policy framework
Pets: Permitted for owners; rental restrictions can differ — confirm the rules for the proposed occupancy with the managing agent.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $991/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 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 2.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
