Lincoln Square Apartment Buildings

Renting in Lincoln Square

Lincoln Square, the West 60s between Columbus Circle and the Hudson, has two distinct sets of rental buildings. Closest to Lincoln Center, around Broadway, Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, are The Regent (1981), The Grand Tier (2004), Sessanta (2009), 170 Amsterdam (2015), Hawthorn Park (2014) and The Encore (2016). Glenwood Management runs four of them. These buildings put Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle and the south end of Central Park within a few minutes’ walk, and the 1 at 66th Street and the A, B, C, D and 1 at 59th Street–Columbus Circle are close.

Further west is Riverside South, the strip of towers along Riverside Boulevard and West End Avenue built over the former Penn Central rail yards. West End Towers, the largest building in the neighborhood with 1,000 apartments, opened there in 1994, followed by 180 Riverside Boulevard in 1998 and The Aldyn and The Ashley in 2010. 21 West End, completed in 2016, has 616 apartments over 43 floors. These buildings face Riverside Park South and the Hudson, with the piers and the greenway at the end of the block, but they are a longer walk from the subway, and many residents rely on the crosstown buses on 66th and 72nd Streets.

Hawthorn Park on West 62nd Street is the tallest building here at 54 floors. The neighborhood leans toward larger, newer doorman buildings, and the mix of landlords, including the Brodsky Organization, Equity Residential and Extell Development, gives renters a range of options within a few blocks.
