172 W 79th St LLC

Compact stone pre-war stock shapes the rental landscape west of Central Park. Scores of walk-ups from the early 1900s still draw tenants chasing light, layout, and an Upper West Side toehold close to Lincoln Center. Among them sits one of the neighborhood’s straight-slab options, an unfussy answer to uptown demand without much fanfare.

You’ll find 172 W 79th St LLC at the southwest corner of West 79th and the avenue, tucked above the brownstone stretch. The five-story façade reads simple limestone with symmetrical windows—predictable for the date, but solid in a borough where older bones often creak more than they bend.

Knock once or call to tour studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedroom splits, all month-to-month ready or lease-to-own if the chemistry fits. The super keeps keys in the lobby mail slot, and quiet hours roll in at 10 p.m., letting classrooms and concert halls function without disturbance.

Spin onto West 79th any afternoon outside school drop-off and you’ll hear cellos drifting from Juilliard a few blocks east. Head over, locate the brownstone with the brass “172,” and dial (212) 873-2896 if the buzzer doesn’t answer.
