495 E 178Th St

A mid-20th-century, seven-story cooperative built in 1941 and comprising ten residences, the property reads as a low-rise, prewar-style walkup with elevator access. Units are a mix of one- and two-bedroom layouts (studios appear in listings), many retaining original details such as hardwood floors and entrance foyers alongside updated touches like granite counters and renovated bathrooms. Kitchens vary from original eat-in configurations to modern open kitchens with stainless appliances and stackable washer/dryers in select listings. Common interior features include ceiling fans, an elevator, and shared maintenance systems; heating appears oil-fired. The building operates as an HDFC co-op with income limits, private financing options and specific subletting rules (typically permitted after two years with a fee) plus pet restrictions that generally allow cats but prohibit dogs. Located in the Bronx near transit, shopping and dining, the cooperative emphasizes affordability and owner-occupant stewardship through application fees, down-payment thresholds and occasional grant eligibility for first-time buyers.
