A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 771 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.
771 West End Avenue is a stately 1915 pre-war cooperative at the corner of West 97th Street, on the upper reaches of the avenue where pre-war scale meets a quieter, more residential pace. Twelve stories and 78 apartments, it is the kind of well-built, full-service West End building that has anchored Upper West Side family life for more than a century — generous layouts, period detail, and an attended lobby, in a protected historic district.
The case is the avenue's case at a slightly more accessible point. Buyers get a full-service pre-war co-op with the room sizes and ceiling heights that define the era, a few blocks from both Riverside Park and Central Park, with the Broadway retail-and-restaurant spine and the 96th Street express subway within easy reach. It is the dependable, livable West End co-op — substantial without the marquee pricing of the avenue's most famous addresses.
Architecture and unit composition
771 West End presents the dignified pre-war face typical of the avenue's better 1910s buildings: a masonry shaft over a limestone-and-terra-cotta base, with classic ornamental detail at the ground floor that the avenue's residents recognize as West Side luxe. It reads as established and solid rather than ornate — the architecture of a building built for permanence.
The 78 apartments run from one-bedrooms to expansive four-bedroom homes, with the larger layouts offering the gracious proportions, separated formal and service spaces, high ceilings, and hardwood floors that buyers seek in pre-war stock. The corner position yields cross-exposures and good light, and the building's range of layouts gives it a broader buyer pool than a building of uniformly large apartments. The building was renovated and updated in the late 1980s.
Building operations
771 West End operates as a full-service cooperative, with a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, central laundry, and storage; the building is pet-friendly. Purchases proceed through the standard co-op board package and interview. Review the current budget, audited statements, debt and any assessments.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $820/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 3.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a co-op, so plan for a board package, interview and financial review. The reward is a full-service West End address with pre-war scale at a more reachable basis than the avenue's marquee blocks, a few minutes from two parks. Focus diligence on the apartment's layout, exposure, and renovation state, and on the building's financials and reserves. We help buyers benchmark asking prices against comparable West End and Riverside pre-wars and prepare a complete board package.
What to know if you’re selling
The selling case is value plus service: a full-service pre-war co-op in a historic district, on a quiet stretch of the avenue near two parks, drawing the broad pool of family buyers who want West End character without the lower-avenue premium. The larger renovated layouts are the building's standouts and should be marketed on their scale and light; the smaller homes sell on accessibility and address. Pricing belongs against the upper-avenue pre-war comparable set. We position these homes to the buyer who values the West End address and the full-service building.

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.
