Property Description for 555 Lenox Ave, 2-B

One-Bedroom Investor-Friendly Condo in Central Harlem

For buyers looking to step into Manhattan ownership - whether as a first home or a smart investment - Residence 2B at 555 Lenox Avenue offers a rare and approachable opportunity in the heart of Harlem.

Set on the second floor of a well-maintained prewar elevator condominium, this quiet, west-facing one-bedroom feels both comfortable and practical. Nine-foot ceilings and newly refinished hardwood floors create an airy, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you enter. A gracious entry hallway opens into a thoughtfully designed living space that is easy to furnish and easy to live in - a layout that works just as well for everyday routines as it does for hosting friends.

The open kitchen is equipped with recessed lighting, a gas stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave, making home cooking simple and efficient. The bedroom offers privacy and comfort, complete with an en-suite bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub. Two closets - one in the bedroom and another in the hallway - provide storage that is often hard to find in a Manhattan one-bedroom.

The Savoy West is a full-service, investor-friendly condominium that continues to attract both end users and long-term investors. Residents enjoy access to a fitness center, lounge, shared roof deck, laundry room, bike storage, and virtual doorman service, along with key-fob entry. A private storage cage is included with the apartment, and pets are welcome - an important consideration for many Harlem buyers.

Conveniently located near the 2, 3, B, and C subway lines, the building offers easy commuting options while placing you moments from St. Nicholas Park, City College, the Schomburg Center, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. It's a location that blends neighborhood character with everyday convenience.

For buyers exploring Harlem condos under $400,000, finding a well-run building with amenities and flexible ownership policies is increasingly uncommon. This residence represents the kind of practical, attainable ownership opportunity that makes long-term sense in today's Manhattan market.

Please note that a planned assessment of approximately $125.17 per month is anticipated.

If you're considering purchasing your first condo in Harlem - or adding to your portfolio - working with agents who understand the nuances between buildings can make the process far smoother. The Boland Team has guided buyers and sellers across Harlem's condominium market for over two decades, and we would be happy to walk you through whether this home aligns with your goals.

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.
