175 Claremont Ave

A low-rise prewar cooperative located on Claremont Avenue in Morningside Heights, completed in 1926 and rising six stories with elevator service. The building primarily offers two-bedroom layouts and flexible multi-room apartments that frequently convert between two bedrooms, three bedrooms, or one bedroom plus office/dining configurations. Interiors emphasize prewar character—high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick and classic details such as French doors—alongside contemporary renovated kitchens and windowed bathrooms in many units. Common areas and building services include a live-in superintendent, a recently updated central laundry room, a small exercise room, storage cages/bins, and bike storage; some listings reference a modest play area. Exterior amenities are minimal, the property sits on a tree-lined residential avenue a block from Riverside Park and within easy walking distance of Columbia University. Transit access is excellent with the 1 train and multiple bus lines nearby. The building operates as an HDFC cooperative with income restrictions and policies that exclude pets, pied-à-terres, and investor purchases. Maintenance levels are notably low relative to the neighborhood, making the building attractive for cost-conscious buyers seeking prewar charm and convenient neighborhood services.
