A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Gloucester 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 Gloucester is one of the few post-war residential towers on this stretch of the Upper West Side, a 1970s full-block building taken to cooperative in 1988 at the southwest corner of Amsterdam and West 79th. Its location is the durable asset: one block from the American Museum of Natural History and its subway hub, across 79th Street from the landmarked Lucerne, and a short walk to Central Park, Riverside Park, and the Broadway corridor's retail spine.
The building's market position is a value-oriented full-service co-op — a doorman building with a landscaped roof deck and an on-site garage at a basis well below the neighborhood's pre-war trophy stock. As a post-war cooperative, it trades some of the architectural romance of the surrounding pre-war houses for efficient layouts, a straightforward operating profile, and a lower entry point. For buyers who prize location and building services over pre-war detail, The Gloucester is a direct and accessible answer.
Architecture and unit composition
The Gloucester is a plain post-war red-brick tower — its interest is in scale, corner light, and the full-block footprint rather than in ornament, with modest setbacks at the top floors giving the highest units small terraced advantages. The 272 residences run from studios through two-bedroom lines, with a few duplex penthouse configurations at the crown, priced in cooperative practice by room count. Higher and west-facing floors capture Hudson-direction light. Renovation quality varies line to line, as in any large co-op of this vintage.
Building operations
The Gloucester runs as a full-service cooperative: 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, central laundry, three elevators, an on-site parking garage, and a landscaped roof deck with Hudson-direction views. Gas, heat, and hot water are included in maintenance — a structural feature that shapes the monthly comparison against buildings that bill utilities separately. The offering plan, house rules, and recent financial statements are on file in The Roebling Research Library, and a board interview is required for every purchase.

Recent sales
The Gloucester trades toward the value end of the Upper West Side cooperative market, priced by unit type and condition — studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and the occasional duplex penthouse span a broad range at a basis below the surrounding pre-war stock. The included utilities and the roof deck support demand from buyers focused on location and building services. Apartment-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Underwrite the flip tax and sublet terms. A seller-paid flip tax of roughly 3 percent and a restricted, fee-bearing sublet policy are reported — factor both into your hold and exit math, and verify the current figures against the by-laws.
The included utilities change the maintenance comparison. Gas, heat, and hot water are in maintenance here; when you compare the monthly number to buildings that bill separately, adjust accordingly.
Price by room and condition. Cooperative pricing tracks room count and renovation level; the spread between original and updated lines is significant.
The location is the value. One block from the museum and its transit hub, near two parks and the Broadway spine, at a post-war co-op basis — evaluate light and exposure line by line.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Plan for roughly six to ten weeks from contract through board approval to closing.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and services. The museum-adjacent address, the roof deck, the garage, and the included utilities are your differentiators against the neighborhood's other value co-ops.
Set expectations on the flip tax. Buyers will price the seller-paid transfer fee into their offers; present it transparently.
Position by room count and condition. Price against the building's own recent trades at comparable room counts and renovation levels.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Six to ten weeks from contract through board approval to closing.

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.
