Property Description for 249 East 118th Street, 6-C
Welcome to East Harlem and The Ivy Condominium
El Barrio, Spanish for 'neighborhood', also known as Spanish Harlem, carries a unique history that is still evident today. From the moment you arrive, you're surrounded by its colors, rhythms, and intense cultural richness. Located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, East Harlem is among one of the most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods in New York City, and home to El Museo del Barrio. The community's history and diversity are reflected in the sights, sounds, and tastes of this unique neighborhood. An eye-catching, never-ending walking tour is made possible by street art and murals depicting the past and present.
This lovely unit at The Ivy Condominium has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and is conveniently located near transportation and shopping, making it a must-see. This earthy and contemporary light filled apartment hosts a generous layout with plenty of closet space, a south facing Juliette balcony in LR, video Intercom, plus wall to wall Italian imported oversized sound resistant double paned windows, recessed lighting, and individually controlled heating and air conditioners. Custom double-door frosted glass and maple cabinetry are found in the pass-through kitchen, along with GE Profile appliances such as a microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and gas stove. The custom Quartz Caesar Stone countertops are complimented by a Moen faucet with a retractable spout, a deep stainless steel undermount sink, and a custom tile backsplash. The two complete full-sized bathrooms are tastefully designed and incorporate luxurious finishes such as Honey Onyx marble, subway tile, natural stone, glass tile, and Danze Parme fixtures, including sunflower shower heads.
The Ivy Condominium, which was built in 2007, has a stylish lobby, virtual door service, package room, bike storage, and a fitness center. The common terrace and patio are the ideal amenities. In the morning, the middle, or in the remains of the day, this Courtyard, with its enchanting setting, will offer you moments of peaceful retreat from the cares and din of the city. The arrival of spring brings a vibrant array of blossoms and songbirds, which create a delightful respite - even if you're living in one of the most exciting and on-the-go cities.
This vibrant community is within minutes away from all the best of what New York City has to offer and is well located for fast and easy access in and out of Manhattan. All bridges, tunnels, and highways can be reached within a two to 35-minute drive. The Metro East 116th Station is a few short blocks away, and the M15 and M101 buses are literally around the corner. All the necessary amenities are located within a short distance away, including the new East River Plaza, which is situated one block south and two blocks east and has Costco, Target, and Marshalls. Regarding the various cuisines and spirits... Whether it's a first-rate, quick restaurant, or casual style restaurant, this popular neighborhood has it all covered and is accessible.
It would be a pleasure to introduce you!

East Harlem | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Take a stroll through East Harlem and you’ll find a vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhood, which is evident no matter which direction you look. East Harlem is also known as Spanish Harlem, El Barrio, and “The Neighborhood,” as it is home to a population that represents Hispanic immigrants, primarily from Puerto Rico, as well as from Mexico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. These immigrants brought their cultures with them, in the form of music, dance, art, and food. During the day, you’ll find the neighborhood filled with opportunities to experience Latin culture. Both the salsa dance craze and the graffiti style of art were born right in East Harlem. There are many great places to sample authentic cuisine, from Rao’s (where you cannot get a table unless you inherit one, and any reservations must be booked years in advance) to sidewalk carts, where you can get the best “street meat” to be had in NYC.
In East Harlem you’ll find a number of innovative educational opportunities in the form of specialized and charter schools that are considered top-notch. Many of these have very competitive admissions criteria and offer curricula that focus on creativity and social awareness. Such schools are a draw for young families that want to raise their children in an educational system that goes above and beyond the standard.
The vibe of East Harlem is one of community and neighbors that interact with each other routinely. There are many small, family-owned and -operated businesses and restaurants that have been neighborhood anchors for years. As you stroll through East Harlem, you will be immersed in sights, sounds and flavors that are straight from Latin American or the Caribbean islands, sometimes both at once. You can sample Puerto Rican-inspired plantain mofongo, which is mashed plantains with garlic and pork rinds, from local sidewalk carts. Or if it is a hot summer’s day, you might enjoy a Mexican-inspired licuado, which is a blended drink similar to a smoothie, made with milk, fruit, and ice. Sometimes, spices, citrus juices, and sugar are added. Although you will find an abundance of authentic cuisine and music no matter where you look in East Harlem.
Prefer to cook at home? East River Plaza offers Target, Costco, and Aldi stores, all of which offer fresh food at reasonable prices.
East Harlem housing consists of more affordable walk-ups, low-rise pre-war buildings, brownstones, and is dominated housing complexes. You can find some comparatively large apartments at reasonable price points, and even some rent-stabilized apartments. Luxury co-op and condo units are being built on the southern boundary of East Harlem.
