The Central at 250 West 88th Street Building Details
The Central, located at 250 West 88th Street, is a rare 8-story pre-war condominium built in 1920 and converted in the mid-1990s. The boutique, 60-unit building offers full-service convenience staffed by a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent. Residents benefit from a central laundry facility, a dedicated bicycle room, and private storage lockers. To maintain a pristine living environment, the building strictly enforces no-pets and no-smoking policies.
The residences blend historic 1920 craftsmanship with modern updates across spacious, light-filled layouts. The homes feature traditional architectural elements like high ceilings, hard-surfaced flooring, and solid structural proportions characteristic of their pre-war pedigree. Individual units are designed with generous closet space and quiet window configurations, creating a peaceful and highly functional urban retreat.
Perfectly positioned on the Upper West Side between Broadway and West End Avenue, the property is situated blocks from both Riverside Park and Central Park. The surrounding area features iconic neighborhood institutions like Zabar's, Westside Market, Barney Greengrass, and Jacob's Pickles, alongside the Children's Museum of Manhattan. Transit friction is eliminated with the 1 train just one block away, the 2/3 express lines nearby, and multiple cross-town bus networks steps from the front door.
