Pre-war condominium listings on the Upper West Side are among the great prizes in New York real estate, and with good reason -- some of the most elegant condo listings in Manhattan are on the UWS, and the grace of a Manhattan pre-war condo is unique even by the high standards of NYC condos. But even among pre-war condos on the Upper West Side, The Apthorp stands out.

The Harrison, at 205 West 76th Street, is a new construction LEED-certified condominium building on Manhattan's Upper West Side, offering luxury apartments for sale. The Harrison offers studios, one- to five-bedroom apartments and family-sized luxury residences, some with a library.

Avonova, at 219 West 81st Street, is a new condominium conversion building located on New York City's Upper West Side, offering luxury apartments for sale. Steps away from Starbucks, Barnes & Noble and Zabars, the famed gourmet food shop, residents will appreciate the classic details of this pre-war building, while simultaneously enjoying its contemporary finishes and modern conveniences.

The Upper West Side is home to some of the most luxurious condos in Manhattan, but prewar conversions are rare, which makes 240 West End in Lincoln Square Avenue a bit of a special building. Originally built in 1924, 240 West End Avenue was converted from a rental building into a luxury Manhattan condo building in 2009, which means it comes with both prewar style and highly modern comforts and conveniences. This building is sixteen floors high, with 54 condos for sale that range in size from one-bedroom to five-bedroom suites.
