5 Minerva Pl

A low-rise condominium community in White Plains completed in 2009, this three-story development concentrates on modestly scaled, two-bedroom residences organized for first-time buyers. Units typically offer open floorplans with cathedral or high ceilings, recessed lighting, walk-in closets, and in-unit laundry hookups. Kitchens are frequently updated with stainless appliances and generous counter space; primary bathrooms and pantries are common. Many residences include private outdoor space such as balconies or terraces and receive abundant natural light. The complex emphasizes energy efficiency, powered by a geothermal heating and cooling system that reduces utility costs. Common exterior features are practical: assigned parking (often one covered or detached spot), visitor spaces, mailbox clusters and rain gutters. The building’s rules reflect its subsidy program: owner-occupancy is required, units are income-restricted for first-time homebuyers, and some units cannot be rented. Pet-friendly policies are noted in listings, and low homeowner association fees coupled with potential down-payment assistance from the City of White Plains help lower entry barriers. Located within walking distance of downtown White Plains, the property sits near Metro-North, major highways, retail, restaurants and schools, making daily errands and transit access straightforward.
