Luxury Real Estate Continues to Boom Next to Struggling School
(DNAINFO) Amy Zimmer — At the luxury rental Hawthorn Park on West 60th Street, residents can take a dip in a stone whirlpool spa and enjoy the promised “white glove service.”
Two streets north, renters at 21 West End Ave. can indulge at the building’s private wine bar while sending Fido to the on-site dog groomer.
These two housing developments are among a slew of new towers in the southernmost part of the neighborhood that have contributed to soaring real estate prices for both rentals and sales.
Yet these pricey housing options stand in stark contrast to the nearest public school, P.S. 191, where eight out of every 10 students are deemed “economically disadvantaged” by the New York State Education Department.
