Price trend
Median price per square foot for sales at 250 West 96th Street, 2023 to 2026. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year.
| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $1,944/ft² | 11 |
| 2024 | $1,906/ft² | 20 |

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.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.
Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.
Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1012431708. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.

Location Context
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.
