315 West End Avenue is an intimate post-war cooperative on one of the Upper West Side's most consistent residential avenues — the southwest corner of West End and 75th Street, two blocks from Riverside Park and a short walk to the Broadway retail and subway spine. Completed in 1948, it belongs to the brief window when the avenue's pre-war masonry tradition gave way to cleaner post-war massing: a yellow-brick eight-story building distinguished by wrap-around corner casement windows that pull light and river-grid air into the apartments at the building's edges.
The building converted to cooperative ownership in 1981, organized as 315 Apartments Corp., and has run ever since as a small, owner-occupied house of just 24 homes. That scale is the point. With only three apartments on most floors and a live-in resident manager, it operates with the quiet, low-overhead discipline buyers look for on West End Avenue — a building where the staff knows every shareholder and the common charges are not underwriting a lavish amenity program nobody uses.
For buyers, the appeal is a well-located, well-run pre-war-adjacent co-op at a sane size: real corner light, a pet-friendly board, no-charge storage and bike parking, and a Riverside-and-Broadway location that has held its value through every cycle.
Architecture and unit composition
The building reads as a product of its moment: 1948 yellow brick, restrained ornament, and the signature corner casements that were a late-Deco and early-modern flourish on the avenue. Where the pre-war buildings a few doors down lean on limestone bases and elaborate cornices, 315 makes its case through proportion and glazing — the corner windows give the better-positioned lines a bright, dual-exposure quality that is hard to replicate in newer construction.
Inside, the 24 residences run to gracious post-war layouts — sensible room counts, hardwood floors, and the solid plaster-and-masonry construction of the era. Several lines combine across the building's width, and the corner apartments are the most sought-after for their light. Ceilings and proportions are post-war rather than soaring pre-war, but the homes are quiet, square, and efficient — the kind of stock that renovates well and lives larger than its footprint suggests.
Building operations
315 West End Avenue is staffed by a live-in resident manager and superintendent, with an elevator, video-intercom entry, a central laundry, a bicycle room, and basement storage offered to shareholders at no charge — an unusual and genuinely valuable perk in a market where storage typically commands a monthly fee. The building is pet-friendly, a meaningful draw on the family-heavy stretch of West End in the 70s.
As a 24-unit cooperative, the building runs lean: common charges support the staff, the systems, and the reserve rather than a deep amenity package. That posture keeps monthly carrying costs disciplined and is exactly what many West End buyers prefer — a house that spends on service and structure, not on marketing.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01184-0083) and verified listing data. 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
This is a traditional cooperative, so purchases clear a board package and interview. The building is pet-friendly, and storage and bike-room space are provided at no additional charge — a real cost advantage over comparable co-ops that meter both. As with most post-war West End co-ops of this size, expect a board that values financial stability and primary residency; financing is permitted within standard co-op parameters, and subletting is restricted in the manner typical of a small owner-occupied house — this is a building to buy as a home, not as an investment lease.
Position matters more than usual here: the corner casement lines carry the building's best light and command the strongest pricing. Buyers should weigh exposure and floor carefully, and budget for the cosmetic updates that post-war kitchens and baths often invite.
What to know if you’re selling
The selling story is location, light, and low carrying costs. A corner co-op two blocks from Riverside Park, with no-charge storage and a pet-friendly board, appeals directly to the West End Avenue buyer — families and downsizers who want a quiet, well-run house rather than a glass tower with a pool. Lead with the corner exposures and the disciplined monthly costs; both are durable differentiators in this corridor.
Because the building is small, a single well-presented listing can define the comp set for the year. Pricing should be benchmarked to recent West End Avenue co-op trades in the 70s rather than to amenity-heavy buildings, and a board-ready buyer (clean financials, primary-residence intent) will move through approval fastest — worth screening for early.
