Hot Today, Gone Tomorrow


With real estate prices in Harlem at about half of what you'll find in other parts of New York City, it's no surprise that I'm seeing more and more prospective buyers wandering around my neighborhood. Here are a few of the apartments on the market today:

Seriously Hot Bagel for Sale: A 5,400 square-foot brownstone that can be used as a legal 3-family or single family residence. Owner triplex and floor-through one-bedrooms on two additional floors. On East 128th Street between 5th and Madison Avenues. Asking $2.65 million.

Luxury Bagel for Sale: One- bedroom, 1.5 baths in brand new luxury building overlooking Marcus Garvey Park. Washer/dryer, lobby attendant, on-site parking, state-of-the-art gym and large common outdoor terrace. On East 124th Street off 5th Avenue. Asking $464K.

Toasty Bagel for Sale: While this apartment is significantly further north and west of me (it's located next to the "Sugar Hill" area of Harlem), the views (and the price) are worth blogging about. Two-bedroom, one-bath with new floors, lighting and unobstructed South/East views of the Empire State Building. Asking $399K.

I believe the "luxury bagel" is on West 124th, since it technically is on the West side of 5th Avenue. I still don't understand why Elliman insist on placing it in "East Harlem" -- not that there's anything wrong with that, but technically, that's Central Harlem, no?
