Property Description for 435 Convent Ave, 24
Welcome to The Garrison Apartments, a stately grand dame located in Historic Hamilton Heights. On entering its gracious lobby, your instincts tell you that theres something special about this prewar gem. A magnet for Harlem Renaissance luminaries, poet Countee Cullen lived here as did Jules Bledsoe, the first major Black opera star in the U.S. as well as Adam Clayton Powell Sr. and his son, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston wrote most of their storied play, Mule Bone, here at The Garrison, a coop since 1929.
Apartment 24, is a gut renovated apartment that exudes prewar charm high ceilings, a wood paneled living room, a decorative fireplace while offering all the comforts of modern living. EVERYTHING HERE IS NEW - including a new kitchen with wood cabinets that reach the ceiling, LG appliances, new tiled bathrooms, one with a clawfoot tub and the other an accessible shower, new floors and new recessed lighting. The home -and it is a home not a series of white boxes - can easily be configured into a 2 bedroom with an exposed brick dining room or with an office space.
The Garrison is a NYC landmark and registered on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Hamilton Heights Historic District. For more on its rich history see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garrison_Apartments,_435_Convent_Avenue
Building features include an elevator, a ButterflyMX video security system, storage room, bike storage, laundry room, a lovely garden maintained by shareholders and a live-in superintendent.
Its just blocks from City College, the 28-acre Riverbank State Park and the 11-acre, newly renovated Jackie Robinson Park with indoor and outdoor gym facilities, baseball diamonds, basketball and volleyball courts and a bandshell that hosts local concerts.
Public transportation is ideal. Its a short 15 minute ride to midtown from the 145th Street A/B/C/D express subway station, which is one block away.
Please call Marianne at or email to schedule an appointment.

Quick Profile
Primarily a residential neighborhood, Hamilton Heights has a mix of brownstones, walk-ups and older apartment buildings, together with more luxurious apartment and condo buildings situated along Riverside Drive. Known for being a working class neighborhood in the past, now there are many artists, teachers and actors making their homes in Hamilton Heights.
Hamilton Heights has a diverse population that prides itself on being a tight-knit community, one where neighbors know and respect one another, work together on issues that confront the community, support each other in difficult times, and spend time together socializing at block and seasonal parties.
Although there are many types of public transportation available, the area subway stops may require a bit of a walk, so you will need to plan for this time in your commute.
Hamilton Heights has a definite family-oriented vibe, and there are many playgrounds and activities for children. Additionally, you can find child daycare at reasonable prices. Riverbank State Park has many activities and recreational opportunities geared toward children.
Although there are plentiful places to shop for groceries, everything from the bigger national chains to the neighborhood bodegas and delis, they are starting to show the impact of gentrification in the higher prices they are charging, especially for organic products.
