Property Description for 30 West 126th Street, 1

Live in the heart of Harlem!! Unique 2BR+/2.5BA duplex condo with a large (585+SF) south-facing private garden, ideally located on a quiet stretch of West 126th between Lenox and 5th Avenue. Exposed brick, a decorative fireplace, refinished hardwood floors and a tranquil private garden add to the charm of this urban oasis - as do the suburban-style perks, including a private entrance, side-by-side vented washer and dryer, central air/heat unit, ample storage (plus a separate deeded unit), and a lower-level rec room with heated floors (ideal as home gym, den, playroom, workshop, or spacious guest suite). The unit offers a beautiful blend of amenity and autonomy, in a self-managed, financially stable boutique brownstone condominium.
Pets are welcome - in addition to your private garden, Marcus Garvey Park features an excellent dog run and is just around the corner.
Enjoy living in the epicenter of Harlem, a historically significant and culturally vibrant neighborhood known for its rich heritage, jazz and diverse culinary scene. Iconic landmarks like the Apollo Theater, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, National Black Theater, National Jazz Museum and Studio Museum are all in close proximity. Move your late night party from the Red Rooster, Sylvia's, or Corner Social one block (!) to your own private backyard, complete with a gazebo and grill! Whole Foods and other major stores are around the corner at 125th Street & Lenox Avenue, as are the 2/3 train and M60 SBS bus. Metro North trains are five minutes away, for both day-to-day commuting and weekend escapes. Likewise, there's a well-priced parking garage on the block, and a wonderful local coffee shop just two doors down - so close you can practically smell the coffee!

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.
