Built in the late 1890s, La Rochelle was designed as a luxury apartment house for well-to-do New York families at a time when apartment living itself was becoming a new expression of urban sophistication. Today, its high ceilings, oversized layouts, architectural details, and gracious proportions continue to distinguish it from newer construction.

The building offers 24-hour doorman service, elevator, laundry, live-in superintendent, and bike storage, combining the character of a landmarked pre-war residence with the convenience of a modern building.

Situated at Columbus Avenue and West 75th Street, La Rochelle sits at one of the Upper West Side's most desirable crossroads. Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, Riverside Park, the Beacon Theatre, Lincoln Center, and multiple subway lines are all within an easy walk. The 1/2/3 and B/C subway stations at 72nd and 81st Streets make commuting downtown or across Manhattan exceptionally convenient.

And then there is the food. Walk out your front door and you're surrounded by the kind of neighborhood dining that makes the Upper West Side feel like a place rather than simply an address. Nearby favorites include Sempre Oggi, a modern Italian restaurant listed in the MICHELIN Guide; Essential by Christophe, the Michelin-starred French restaurant on West 77th; Jacob's Pickles for famously indulgent Southern-inspired comfort food; and Miriam for Israeli and Mediterranean brunches and dinners.

For coffee, pastries, brunch, or simply lingering over the morning news, the neighborhood offers everything from neighborhood cafés to old-school New York institutions. And for an evening out, the proximity to the Beacon Theatre and Lincoln Center makes dinner-and-a-show an easy part of everyday life.
