The Upper West Side dominated Manhattan’s luxury real estate market during the week of Jan 12-18, and one iconic address led the charge.
According to the Olshan Report, nine of the city’s 22 most expensive signed contracts were located on the Upper West Side. Topping the neighborhood list — and ranking as the second-most expensive sale citywide — was a $24 million co-op inside the historic Dakota building on Central Park West.

The three-bedroom residence at 1 West 72nd Street occupies a coveted park-front corner position within the landmarked building. It’s also one of the Dakota’s largest single apartments and was hitting the market for the first time in more than four decades, per Olshan.The home reportedly retains much of its original 19th-century character, featuring soaring 13.6-foot ceilings, ornate period details, multiple wood-burning fireplaces, and sweeping Central Park views.
Completed in 1884, the Dakota remains one of New York City’s most recognizable residential buildings, with famous former residents including Leonard Bernstein, Judy Garland and John Lennon.
