MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Located at the crossroads of two of the most celebrated blocks on the Upper West Side sits The Raleigh, a bespoke and discreet pre-war treasure. Now, there is an uncommon opportunity to own a spacious and sunny two-bedroom, two-bath home in the upper west side’s best kept secret.
Upon entry into this lovely fifth floor home, you’ll be greeted by a welcoming foyer, with a huge, ceiling high, double closet. Just past the foyer is the galley kitchen across from which there is a dedicated dining/office area. Around the corner is the large, sunny, south-facing living room, spacious enough to accommodate couches as well as a dining table. The windows welcome abundant light and the hard wood floors throughout this home have been lovingly maintained and are in great condition. The primary bedroom is exceptionally large and sun-filled, also south facing, and has an enormous walk-in closet. It also has an updated en-suite bathroom and a ceiling fan. The second bedroom is equally large, also with a ceiling fan, and a huge walk-in closet. It, too, has an updated en-suite bath.
At the building's entrance, its majestic, wrought-iron gates shepherd you into a resplendent, beautifully restored pre-war entry way and lobby. It is both elegant and refined. The elevators are cloaked in beautiful wood and brushed brass and are additional examples of the attention to detail. The stunning lobby is only matched by the incredible roof-top terrace, which is artfully landscaped as well as furnished. It has manifold different sitting areas, each showcasing different arresting city views. The grandeur of the lobby and roof terrace is only outshone by the gracious and attentive staff. The building also has a common laundry room and offers the "building link" system for package notification, etc.
This bespoke, pre-war, hidden gem is located in the absolute best part of the upper west side. It is a block away from two subway lines, the 1/2/3 and the B/C, and buses also frequent this thoroughfare. Amidst the Upper West Side’s best restaurants and shopping, it offers options from Trader Joe’s to Chanel. Incredibly, the Raleigh is also only one block from Central Park.

Upper West Side
Overview of Upper West Side
The Upper West Side (UWS) is the intellectual and cultural counterpoint to the East Side. Sandwiched between Central Park and Riverside Park, it is known for its brownstones, protected historic districts, and artistic legacy. For buyers seeking Upper West Side Manhattan real estate, it offers a relaxed, leafy, and quintessentially "New York" vibe.
Living in the Upper West Side feels like living in a movie. The streets are wide and lined with trees. As a beloved Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it attracts writers, actors, and families who value space, parks, and Zabar's.
Real Estate & Housing Market
The market for homes for sale in the Upper West Side is robust. It is famous for its pre-war co-ops along Central Park West and Riverside Drive, and its miles of brownstone blocks in between. Newer condos have risen in the low 60s and along Columbus Avenue.
It is a high-demand market because the housing stock is beautiful and protected. You can't build skyscrapers on the brownstone side streets, preserving the light and character.
Lifestyle & Community
The lifestyle on the UWS is casual and community-focused. Neighbors stop to chat at the Sunday landscaped market or while walking dogs in Riverside Park. It feels less formal than the East Side.
Cultural institutions like Lincoln Center and the Museum of Natural History anchor the community, infusing it with art and science.
Transportation & Accessibility
The Upper West Side is served by the 1/2/3 and B/C trains. The express 2/3 makes getting to Times Square or Wall Street incredibly fast.
The West Side Highway provides easy car access for escapes to the Catskills or Jersey.
Parks, Schools & Amenities
You are never more than two blocks from a park. Riverside Park offers sunsets over the Hudson, while Central Park offers the Great Lawn and the Reservoir.
Amenities are iconic: Zabar's, Fairway, Barney Greengrass. The food culture here is legendary. Schools are excellent, contributing to its reputation as a family haven.
Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
The Upper West Side is best for families, dog owners, and creatives who want a beautiful, green, and relaxed neighborhood with deep cultural roots.
