Taking Inventory: Central Park West

285 Central Park West
At 89th Street
A gracious apartment straight out of a Hollywood madcap-heiress movie. The 21st-century client will appreciate the porte cochere with half-hour parking and the immense country kitchen. The oversize bay windows face the park—but below the tree line, so it’s a bargain, right?

320 Central Park West
At 92nd Street
A block above the El Dorado sits the Ardsley, also by architect Emery Roth. No garage here, but an attentive staff and a new gym. The co-op board’s not as stodgy as some, allowing both pets and pied-à-terre buyers.

327 Central Park West
At 93rd Street
There’s no board approval at this prewar condo, and the installation of a bells-and-whistles gym is under way. The simultaneous sale of apartments 14B and 15B creates the possibility of a killer duplex, at a killer cost.

336 Central Park West
At 94th Street
A bargain in these parts: wood-burning fireplace, herringbone floors, and a down payment under 100 grand. No park views, but you don’t pay for them either.

Apt. 15D: $649,000.
One-bedroom, one-bath; 800 square feet. Maintenance: $1,271. (Deborah Straubinger, Eychner.)

355 Central Park West
Near 95th Street
One of the few single-family houses facing the park. Big enough—and zoned for— two families, the house is twenty feet wide, sunny, and spacious, with a huge party-ready roof deck facing the park.

Five-story townhouse; $4.9 million.
5,084 square feet. Taxes: $17,000. (Mary Rolland, Coldwell Banker.)

370 Central Park West
At 97th Street
Decent light and plenty of closet space; both the kitchen and bathroom have windows, giving you all the more incentive to rip out the crummy tile and cabinets. The building provides a 24-hour doorman and shared garden, and it’s pretty relaxed for a co-op, allowing both pets and sublets.

Apt. 309: $530,000.
One-bedroom, one-bath; 725 square feet. Maintenance: $722. (Yolonda Gorham, Corcoran.)

372 Central Park West
At 97th Street
This is the Vaux, the southernmost tower in a seven-building Robert Moses complex once known as Manhattantown, a public work gone private condo. Pleasant enough, with bike storage, gym, and parking, and the monthly charges are supremely low.
