A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 565 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.
565 West End Avenue is a 1937 Art Deco cooperative — a late-decade arrival on a corridor whose pre-war character is overwhelmingly 1910s and 1920s, which makes it architecturally distinctive among its West End neighbors. By 1937 the dominant residential idiom had shifted from the Neo-Renaissance masonry of the avenue's earlier boom toward the streamlined, horizontal-banded Art Moderne vocabulary, and 565 is a clear, confident example: bold bands of red brick, rounded corner massing, and the casement-and-corner glazing that pulls light deep into the apartments.
The building is the work of H.I. Feldman, among the most productive apartment-house architects of mid-century New York, whose buildings prioritized rational, light-driven planning. At 565 that shows in the interiors: large open entry galleries that double as dining space, sunken living rooms, and oversized corner windows. Sitting on the corner of 87th and West End, residents are steps from Riverside Park, transit, and the everyday shops and restaurants of the West Side. It converted to cooperative ownership in 1966 and today occupies a particular niche — full pre-war-era scale and full-service staffing, with the lighter, more streamlined Art Deco aesthetic buyers seeking something other than standard pre-war specifically look for.
Architecture and unit composition
The 99 apartments reflect Feldman's late-1930s planning. Layouts run from studios and one-bedrooms through larger three-bedroom and corner configurations, with the building's defining features recurring throughout: large open entry galleries that serve as dining areas, step-down or sunken living rooms in many lines, and the oversized corner windows that distinguish Art Deco design from the smaller-paned pre-war norm. The upper-floor apartments carry terraces — a genuine rarity on the avenue.
The corner lines, wrapping the West End Avenue and West 87th Street exposures through corner glazing, are the building's most sought-after, delivering light on two sides and the streamlined-window aesthetic at its best. Upper-floor western exposures pick up open light toward the Hudson.
Building operations
565 West End Avenue operates as a full-service cooperative with a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent. The amenity package is unusually deep for a pre-war co-op of this size: a fitness center (used for a modest fee), a central laundry room, a bike room, and basement storage cages (both the storage bins and bike spaces run waiting lists). Pets are welcome subject to board approval. Subletting is permitted with board approval, limited to one year in any ten. A secondary residence and co-purchasing are considered case by case; corporate purchases are not allowed; in-unit washers and dryers are not permitted.

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.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a board-approval cooperative. Financing is capped at 75% of value, and the building permits adjustable-rate mortgages only when the borrower is financing 60% or less with an initial fixed period of at least five years — a meaningful detail for anyone weighing an ARM. A 2% flip tax, paid by the seller, applies on resale. Pets are welcome with board approval, and the gym, bike room, and storage add everyday convenience; note that in-unit laundry is not permitted, so buyers should plan around the building's central laundry. We help buyers evaluate the line, read the financials, and prepare a clean board package.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the Art Deco identity — the 1937 Moderne facade, the wrapped corner windows, the gallery-and-sunken-living-room interiors, and the upper-floor terraces are concrete, photogenic selling points that distinguish 565 from its more uniform pre-war neighbors. Price to line and floor: corner versus mid-block, altitude, exposure, and renovation condition drive value. The building's deep amenity set — gym, bike room, storage, full-time doorman — broadens the buyer pool. Build the 2% seller flip tax into your net-proceeds math from the start; our Seller Closing Cost Calculator below makes that straightforward.

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.
