For those really wanting to experience the wonders of New York, this is the place to be. The Upper West Side is full of historical and cultural spots, including the American Museum of Natural History and a number of dance and music venues. Of course, being out and about doesn’t oblige anyone to go “to” anywhere, as the shady, old-neighborhood feel of the area offers plenty of tranquility for that evening walk.

As far as new developments go, Avery has pretty standard decor offerings. Brand name appliances like Sub Zero and Miele showcase the kitchen and Waterworks fixtures adorn the baths. Of course, what would such luxury be without freedom of choice? Avery allows residents to choose their own color schemes and kitchen countertop styles.

What Avery offers its residents more than other developments—and the reason behind its success—is an amenity package that doesn’t include just the basics. This development has the state-of-the-art fitness center, the full-time doorman, and even a children’s playroom. But with the help of some friends, Avery also offers a few extra perks. Through an agreement with the Lincoln Center, residents of this building are afforded special ticket privileges. The Center also curates the development’s library, which is open 24 hours a day and includes free Wi-Fi access. Avery has also teamed with Abigail Michaels, the world-famous Concierge provider, which will allow residents access to hotel-style amenities such as cleaning service and valet. Many more services are offered for a small fee.

In addition to the services offered through others, Avery also offers its own special amenities to its residents. An on-site garage means no walking blocks from the car to the house. A screening room with comfortable stadium seating premieres quality entertainment at the residents’ convenience. A gaming room caters to a more active crowd, and sports a dartboard and a pool table.

Most of Avery’s 274 one, two and three bedroom homes are sold, but there are still enough available for those people who always have to do things at the last minute. Square footage for the units range from 748 for the smaller one-bedroom apartments, to nearly 1470 for available three-bedroom, three-bath units. Prices start at $900,000 to over $2,000,000. Avery Riverside South is located at 100 Riverside Boulevard, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
