Property Description for 323 West 43rd Street, 3-FW

Cheaper than renting! Located in one of the most well-maintained HDFC buildings with one of the highest income caps available in NYC, this charming one bedroom apartment with a flexible layout is located on the third floor of an impeccably maintained building with a handsome brick townhouse-like facade. It features wide plank hardwood floors and recessed lighting throughout, a spacious living room with bright southern exposure and city street-scape views, as well as a windowed eat-in kitchen. The quiet bedroom features two windows and is located in the back of the apartment along with a windowed impeccably renovated en-suite bath. The layout could easily be reconfigured. The living room could easily be converted to a bedroom that accommodates a king-sized bed and has a walk-in closet. The wall between the kitchen and existing bedroom is non-load bearing and could be removed to create an open loft-like kitchen/dining/living room. The original brickwork on the entire western wall of the apartment could also be exposed to give it that “Old New York” warmth and charm. This well-maintained building features a live-in super and free laundry in the basement. It is an HDFC building with the following maximum income caps on households for current and prior 2 years of income (based on 165% of the AMI); for one person the income cap is $154,110; for two people the income cap is $176,220. This apartment must be your primary residence; no pied-a-terres are permitted. Subletting is permitted with restrictions and with coop board approval. Flip tax of 25% of the profit if sold within 5 years or less and 15% of the profit if sold after 5 years of ownership, paid by the seller. Cats are permitted; however, dogs are not permitted. Smoking is not permitted. Located in vibrant Hell’s Kitchen, this home is at the center of quintessential New York living, just steps from the Theater District and the heart of Midtown, and just minutes from Hudson Yards to the south and from the Columbus Circle shops and Whole Foods to the north, both of which provide premier shopping, dining and entertainment. The High Line and Hudson River Greenway and nearby Central Park provide glorious outdoor space. The eclectic restaurant scene of 9th Avenue is just around the corner and legendary Restaurant Row is a block away. Transportation is unbeatable with the Port Authority and Times Square providing easy access to A/C/E, 1/2/3, N/Q/R, S and 7 trains.

Hell's Kitchen | Manhattan

Quick Profile

There is some mystery surrounding Hell’s Kitchen and how it got its name. There’s the tale about two policemen discussing how horrendous the neighborhood was back in 1880’s. The rookie cop turned to the veteran cop and said, “this place is hell.” The veteran cop replied, “No, this is hell’s kitchen.” Some say it's named after a notorious 19th century motorcycle gang. Even the historians will tell you the neighborhood's name has dubious origins. 

Regardless of how it got its name, Hell’s Kitchen is here to stay.

Hell’s Kitchen is an iconic neighborhood on the west side of Manhattan. Its boundaries are 34th and 59th streets and 8th Avenue to the Hudson River. The neighborhood has a dense urban feel with plenty of bars, bodegas, restaurants and coffee shops. It’s inhabited by an eclectic mix of young professionals, long term residents from the old days, LGBQT community and members of the performing arts community - due to the highest number of off Broadway theatres in all of New York CIty. 

From the early 1800’s to the 1980’s, Hell’s Kitchen held the title for one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city. In its early history it was populated by poor working class Irish and street gangs. Riots, violence, and crime were not uncommon. During prohibition times it was said that Hell’s Kitchen had more speakeasies than children. 

Several attempts of neighborhood rebranding have taken place over the years. Clinton, Midtown West, and even the short-lived Hell’s Canyon are a few of the replacement names that have been used. Hell’s Kitchen has a lot of grit and no shortage of fortitude. A trendy name change seems doubtful. 

Hell’s Kitchen benefited greatly from the Times Square clean up in the 1990’s. When crime rates lowered and adult theatres and prostitution disappeared, Times Square became less sleazier. Soon after, Hell’s Kitchen changed. The days of Gangsters, Irish immigrants, and rough and tumble housing tenements are part of its storied history. They’ve been replaced with bars, bodegas, restaurants, off broadway theatres, and luxury buildings. The recent completion of Hudson Yards and the Highline extension has brought new life into Hell’s Kitchen 

Low-rises, brownstones, row houses and 5 to 6 floor walk ups with studio and one bedroom apartments are common in Hell’s Kitchen. The local zoning laws from previous years kept the building heights on the lower side. Over the past decade, developers have been granted exceptions to building height zoning laws and created more modern highrise developments.
