The first level of this apartment has two large bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms. The primary bedroom is serene and quiet, facing the private yard, with an ensuite bathroom that has been recently renovated and access to the first outdoor space - a terrace overlooking the remarkable yard. The second bedroom is large and can fit any size bed with nightstands. It has its own full bathroom as well. The lower level features a newly renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, which opens to the large living room with a working fireplace and an exposed beam ceiling. There is a passthrough (which could be opened up completely) to the unique and charming solarium. The solarium is a versatile space with a glass ceiling allowing you to view the sky from inside whether you are enjoying a meal or relaxing on your sofa. There is even a half bathroom on this floor for when you are entertaining guests. The truly special aspect of this apartment is the large landscaped private yard. It is a rare treat to have such a beautiful outdoor space in a location as central as this. 261 West 71st Street has free laundry in the building. It is located in the heart of the upper west side near the 1,2,3 trains and Riverside Park. Trader Joe's, Zabar's, and Fairway are all conveniently nearby. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 2 - **Total Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 8 - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1920 - **Common Charges**: $2,138.75 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 29, 2025 - **Days on Market**: 343 Days ### Residence Features - Common On Floor - Common Area ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 5 apartments at 261 West 71st Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,604,000 in September 2026. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 (Apartment) | 2 | $1,604,000 | September 2, 2026 | MLS | | 2 (Apartment) | 2 | $1,430,000 | February 12, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 1 (Duplex) | 2 | $1,585,000 | June 9, 2023 | MLS | | 9 (Duplex) | 2 | $1,300,000 | May 9, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 7 (Duplex) | 1 | $727,500 | January 24, 2022 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side is $1,400,000, based on 273 sales between September 2024 and July 2026. This home is asking $1,604,000, $204,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,155,000 and $1,800,000. - **Median closed price**: $1,400,000 - **Middle half**: $1,155,000 – $1,800,000 - **Based on**: 273 co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side - **Period**: September 2024 – July 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 62 of these 273 sales (23%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 252 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.6% of what it originally asked. 66% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Upper West Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.6% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 66% of 252 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 73 days (about 10 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 88 days (about 13 weeks) Across the 252 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.6% of what it originally asked. 66% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 73 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 261 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 88 days (about 13 weeks), based on the 259 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 273 co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side, September 2024 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side, 2016 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $1,400,000 | 24 | | 2017 | $1,525,000 | 134 | | 2018 | $1,475,000 | 144 | | 2019 | $1,472,500 | 144 | | 2020 | $1,351,200 | 78 | | 2021 | $1,350,000 | 222 | | 2022 | $1,500,000 | 195 | | 2023 | $1,395,000 | 142 | | 2024 | $1,446,500 | 144 | | 2025 | $1,390,000 | 151 | | 2026 | $1,420,000 | 79 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Upper West Side instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
