Independence House

Residential buildings along Manhattan’s Upper West Side often fall into two camps—pre-war brick walk-ups and modern high-rises. Independence House sits among the latter, offering a straightforward rental option without the towering amenity fees that compete with the skyline.

Find 176 W 94th St, New York, NY 10025 between Columbus and Amsterdam, where townhouses give way to mid-century brick façades. Studios, one- and two-bedroom layouts cater to both newcomers and long-time residents who prefer a no-frills address above the usual tourist loops.

Call ahead to confirm availability, then use the listed directions to reach the lobby entrance. Anchored between Riverside Park’s jogging paths and the historic West Side Market, the block keeps a quiet rhythm that rarely slows even on weekends.
