The Townsend was built as a cooperative in 1962 and is consistently one of the most sought after on the UES. And for good reason. In addition to the neighborhood feel you get from the small shops and restaurants on Lexington Avenue, it offers white glove service with doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, fully equipped gym, private storage that conveys with the apartment, bike and laundry rooms... and is a coop where pied-a-terre are permitted.
