565 West End Avenue

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.

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 /sales tab below draws live from the building's tax lot. As a 99-unit cooperative, 565 West End sees a steady but measured cadence of turnover — typically several closings in an active year. Pricing tracks the upper-80s West End Avenue market, where the Art Deco galleries, sunken living rooms, and corner windows set the building apart; corner lines and high-floor western exposures carry the clearest premiums, with renovation condition a major swing factor given the distinctive original detailing.

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.

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.
