Talking Upper West Side

 
 
The Ansonia on the UWS~

The Ansonia on the UWS~

I have lived on Riverside drive between 91st and 92nd streets since 1996.

A lot has changed since then and a lot has remained the same.

Riverside Park has developed a fantastic running, biking, walking and rollerblading path-

I actually ran on it in the Rain this past Sunday and it was lovely.

Hippo Park has continually remained the #1 place for kids to play at on the UWS if not the whole city.

Why do people live on the Upper West Side? It is certainly not as cool as the East Village, Gramercy, Flatiron or the Village.

Well first off is that you get a lot of buildings that have pre war detail and are over 100 years old. You just can’t find millwork like you can find up here.

You also get more square footage for your dollar……some people actually find this important.

Central Park is like no other-the fact of the matter is that some really smart people made it a point to create this oasis for New Yorkers and visitors ages ago and it has stood the test of time.

You also have the perfect place to head out of New York to visit upstate NY or New Jersey.

And if you like strollers- we have plenty of them- they are practically everywhere.

 

Restaurants come and go:

Gone-

EJ’s Luncheonette

Rain

Drip Coffee

222

Still here-

Calle Ocho

Café Luxembourg

A bunch of Le Pain Quotidien locations

The Dive Bar- yes really it is still kicking!

New-

Bin 71

Columbus Tavern

My friend  on twitter @MissReingold and in real life Rachel Mulcahy says I  should add the Beacon Theatre and Jazz at Lincoln Center as reasons to live here. ( I agree with her!)

So, come on and make a trip above 14th street and check us out- you may be pleasantly surprised! I promise, we don't bite~

The rental market, especially the high end market continues to be on fire in New York City.

We literally put 304 West 77th street #1 on the market last week and it is already rented at the full asking price of $9,000 per month… That is $108,000 in rent per year.

The apartment was a 2 bath, 2.5 baths in a fabulous townhouse and was priced perfectly for this rental market.

I cannot tell you how many people wanted to see the apartment and it was amazing how quickly it rented.

So why would people want to spend $108K per year on rent instead of owning?

There are many reasons, but here are a few:

Maybe it is a new area for the people to live and they want to get a feel of the location before purchasing.

Maybe the folks have transient jobs and they don’t want to commit on a purchase.

Maybe they are bearish on the NYC sales market?

Maybe they are trying to time their purchase by renting?

The bottom line is that if history repeats itself, the rental market supersedes the sales market and this could be a good indicator on where sales volume and transaction prices go to?
