HISTORICAL DETAIL - TIMELESS RELEVANCE

WELCOME HERE: PETS, GIFTING, GUARANTORS, CO-PURCHASES, 90% FINANCING, & ONE-PARTY-BUYING-FOR-ANOTHER

In 1897, Columbia University moved to Morningside Heights. The years following that relocation brought exciting development, and a newfound residential grace to the area. In 1901, to capitalize on the housing exuberance of the day, 501 West 122nd Street was built right by Morningside Park and just down the hill from the University. With a prime position on beautiful Seminary Row, this boutique beauty is an architectural and cultural standout -- with a winsome location.
Perfectly set on the coveted, South-facing, sunshiny front of its well-tended building, this easy-to-love residence offers open, bright architectural views on the treeline, and offers the best of two centuries: Many of this heartwarming home's Pre-WWI details are intact, and meld gracefully with all the comforts and conveniences of today.
The heart of this feel-good home is its comfy living/dining room. With open access to the handsomely renovated, open kitchen (with ample custom cabinets and counters, premium appliances, and a dining bar), this easy-to-love residence is an affordable treasure. Its two split bedrooms, its renovated, windowed bath (with washer/dryer), and its hardwood floors, high ceilings, and period woodwork all come together in the most practical and pretty ways. The comforting result is a happy home where good form meets fabulous function -- an easy-living, smart, soulful home that works.
Sweetly situated just 3 easy flights up in its pet-friendly, walk-up building with bike storage, this sweet home enjoys a prime perch in its flexibly run cooperative (with on-site Super). Here, you can finance up to 90% of the purchase price, and pied-a-terre and co-purchases are welcome -- as are gifting, guarantors, and one-party-buying-for-another. Nearby are world-class educational and cultural institutions, both Riverside and Morningside Parks, and a plethora of area dining and shopping destinations.
If convenience and character are priorities, and a relevant, timeless, easy residence is the goal, then welcome to sunshine, welcome to beauty -- welcome home.

Morningside Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Due to the large number of institutes of higher learning that are housed within its borders, most notably Columbia University, Morningside Heights has a very definite college-town vibe. It has been dubbed the “Academic Acropolis,” both for the large number of schools and for the fact that the neighborhood is built high atop the Manhattan schist bluffs that are the geological bedrock of NYC. From this vantage point, which is the highest point of land in all of Manhattan, you can take in stunning views of upper Manhattan and the Hudson River. Sunsets are especially breathtaking from Riverside Park.

Walk through Morningside Heights and you’ll see a diverse population, especially when the schools are in session. It has a generally quiet atmosphere, bounded by large green spaces, dotted with small cafes, specialty stores, and restaurants that offer all manner of international cuisine. There is a modest nightlife consisting of intimate bars and small musical venues, many of which are open to the wee hours of the morning, and frequented by students.

Housing is primarily pre-war buildings that have larger apartments and beautiful architecture clustered around Broadway. You can find affordable walk-ups in low-rise buildings on the side streets. Many of the residential buildings in the area actually are owned by Columbia University.
