There are beautfully refinished hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings and copious natural light from large south and north facing windows throughout the home. The open windowed kitchen not only has tons of storage and counter space, but is totally up to date with custom white shaker cabinetry, white quartz countertops, full-sized stainless steel appliances (including a Bosch dishwasher) and a breakfast bar. The windowed bathroom is recently updated and outfitted with Kohler fixtures including a rain shower. In-unit washer/dryer, designer overhead lighting in every room, ample closet space, a deeded private storage unit and low monthly common charges + taxes highlight the great value this condo represents. The apartment is in a 16-unit pre-war elevator loft building that was fully renovated in 2007.

The 4,000 sq ft roof deck offers sweeping views towards Central Park, Columbia University and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

One of the most serene sections of Central Park is just six short blocks south of the apartment, while the 2/3 and B/C subway lines are just steps from your front door, providing seamless transportation to Midtown in 15 minutes. This apartment not only provides outstanding value right now but with SoHa’s rapidly increasing desirability, there is significant appreciation potential.

Harlem | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The neighborhood called West Harlem by the locals is known as Manhattanville to neighborhood newcomers. The area is culturally diverse and might be considered a microcosm of the city as a whole. 

Columbia University has recently expanded into the area, which is attracting student residents from all over the world. Together with students from the City College of New York and young professionals fleeing higher prices in other neighborhoods, this influx of younger residents has brought with it more restaurants and bars on W 125th Street to serve this clientele. There are also new ventures, like a rock-climbing gym, to cater to the interests of these students and young professionals. At the same time, there are many small, family-owned shops and restaurants that have been anchors of the neighborhood for multiple generations.

The area has been through a housing upgrade, as older properties have been renovated and abandoned properties have been razed to make room for new development. There are still reasonably priced apartments available. Young professionals are finding that there is a certain cachet to living in West Harlem. It provides a convenient commute to the city and all of its amenities, while providing a sense of escape at the end of a long work day.

While rentals are popular with the student population, the young professionals are delighted to find pre-war brownstones, pre-war co-ops (including some income-capped HDFCs for lower- and middle-income buyers), and post-war condos that they can afford, although prices are rising. Some new low-rise developments, sporting virtual doormen and desired amenities, are cropping up.
