A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 300 West End Avenue 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 End Avenue is the kind of pre-war cooperative that explains why the West End Avenue corridor commands the premiums it does: a 1917 building of just 34 apartments, designed by Schwartz & Gross — one of the most prolific and accomplished apartment-house firms of the era — and conceived from the outset as a building of large, gracious family homes rather than a stack of small flats. With roughly 3,500 finished square feet per apartment on average, this is among the most spacious co-ops on the avenue, and that scale is the building's enduring argument.
The position is precise: the northeast corner of West 74th Street, deep in the West End–Collegiate Historic District, two blocks from Riverside Park and three from Central Park, with the Broadway shopping-and-restaurant spine and the 72nd Street express subway a short walk east. It is a quiet, residential stretch where the architecture is the amenity, and 300 West End reads as one of its more dignified addresses.
For buyers, the appeal is straightforward: full-floor and near-full-floor pre-war layouts, period detail intact, in a small co-op with an attended lobby and a live-in superintendent; assess financial policy and condition from current documents — the classic Upper West Side family co-op, at a scale that is increasingly hard to find.
Architecture and unit composition
Schwartz & Gross gave 300 West End a restrained Colonial Revival face: a Flemish-bond brick facade trimmed in limestone, granite, and terra cotta, with a dignified entrance framed by engaged Scamozzi pilasters beneath a sweeping arched pediment of carved ornament. It is genteel rather than grand — the architecture of a building meant to house established families, not to advertise.
Inside, the apartments are the draw. The building was laid out with very large units, including ten-room full-floor homes served by private elevator landings, with several apartments retaining two wood-burning fireplaces. High ceilings, hardwood floors, separate formal and service spaces, and the deep light afforded by the corner exposures are characteristic of the better Schwartz & Gross product of this period. The 34-unit count across thirteen stories describes the building’s scale; use apartment plans for room sizes and recorded sales for turnover rather than inferring either from the count.
Building operations
300 West End operates as a full-service cooperative. A full-time doorman attends the lobby and a live-in resident manager handles day-to-day operations, supported by central laundry, basement storage, and bicycle storage. The building is pet-friendly. As with most pre-war co-ops of this caliber, the board reviews purchasers through a standard application and interview, and financial requirements and condition should be established from current documents, not inferred from building size or assumed shareholder tenure.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a co-op, so plan for a board package and interview and the financial scrutiny a co-op board applies. The reward is space and provenance: full-floor layouts, wood-burning fireplaces, and Schwartz & Gross detail in a historic-district setting two blocks from Riverside Park. Because the largest apartments are genuinely rare on the market, buyers seeking a ten-room home here should be prepared to move decisively when one appears. We help buyers read the building's financials, benchmark the asking price against comparable West End and Riverside pre-wars, and prepare a complete board package.
What to know if you’re selling
Scarcity is the seller's leverage. A full-floor pre-war home with period detail in the West End–Collegiate Historic District is a category buyers actively hunt for, and the small size of the building means there is rarely competing inventory at the same address. The marketing case writes itself — Schwartz & Gross pedigree, full-floor scale, fireplaces, and a quiet residential corner near two parks. Pricing should be set against the avenue's best pre-war comparables rather than the broader Upper West Side median, and timed to the building's natural turnover rhythm. We position these homes to the family buyer who understands what full-floor pre-war square footage on West End is worth.

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.
