This historic building called the Opera enjoys an enviable location equidistant from Central Park and Riverside Park. Right outside your door are trendy restaurants like Owl’s Tail and Playa Betty’s, comfort diner food at Viand, Starbucks, and convenient shopping at Fairway, Citarella, Trader Joe’s and Zabars. The city’s greatest cultural institutions (Lincoln Center, Beacon Theater, NY Historical Society, American Museum of Natural History) are minutes away, with the 72nd St. subway lines 1, 2 & 3 a short distance from your front door.

The Opera boasts a truly unique history that adds depth and character to this distinguished Upper West Side address. Designed by the architectural firm Tilion & Tilion and completed in 1930, the building was originally conceived as a striking neo-Gothic structure that combined a church sanctuary with the Manhattan Towers Hotel, reflecting both civic and residential aspirations of its era. Over the decades, the property adapted to changing needs — serving as Navy housing during World War II and later functioning as a single-room-occupancy hotel — before being thoughtfully converted into a cooperative in 1980, preserving its architectural heritage while creating a vibrant community of private homes.
