The Belford

The Belford is a six-story prewar condominium originally constructed in 1920 and converted to condo ownership beginning in 1988/1990. The 114-unit building retains many classic prewar attributes such as high ceilings and hardwood floors while offering modernized apartment interiors with open-plan kitchens, recessed lighting, exposed brick accents, and in-unit washer/dryer in many residences. Interior common features include an elevator, intercom entry, an on-site resident superintendent and daytime porter, and an Amazon Hub package locker system in the lobby. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts with generous ceiling heights and thoughtful renovations ranging from marble baths to Caesarstone counters and stainless-steel appliance packages. Exterior amenities are minimal; there are no formal outdoor shared facilities, but the property is pet friendly and professionally managed. Utilities and billing practices are unit-specific (water billed annually for some units) and there have been periodic assessments connected to building capital work. The Belford occupies a transit-rich corner of Washington Heights near Wadsworth Avenue and 181st Street, placing residents a short walk from the A and 1 subway lines, multiple bus routes, the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal, and a growing retail corridor that includes new big-box and neighborhood shopping. Nearby open space and cultural assets include Fort Tryon Park, the Cloisters, and Hudson River viewpoints, supporting an active, walkable urban lifestyle.
