157 W 123Rd St

A seven-story, early-20th-century HDFC cooperative built in 1910, this low-rise residential block in Harlem contains studios, one- and two-bedroom units arranged around a modest footprint. Architecturally the façade reflects prewar proportions and detailing common to the neighborhood; interiors frequently feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, and oversize windows that bring abundant natural light. Apartment layouts range from classic separated-room plans with formal dining areas and eat-in kitchens to renovated open-concept kitchens with modern islands; many baths are tiled and some units include soaking tubs. The building provides everyday conveniences such as an elevator, a live-in superintendent, and limited private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet. On-site policies are those of an HDFC coop: income and primary-residency restrictions apply, financing is available within program limits, and pets are permitted subject to board approval. The location sits steps from multiple subway lines (2/3, A/B/C/D) and 125th Street retail, with grocery options and cultural destinations like the Apollo Theater and Marcus Garvey Park within easy walking distance, supporting an urban, transit-oriented lifestyle.
