501 W 156Th St

A prewar low-rise co-op, 501 West 156th Street is a six-story, 11-unit HDFC building constructed in 1930 and offering one- through three-bedroom apartments. The masonry exterior and scaled street presence reflect typical early-20th-century Manhattan rowhouse architecture. Units are a mix of classic layouts—corner and mid-block flats—with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and original millwork in many homes alongside renovated kitchens and bathrooms in other units. Common interior features reported across units include eat-in kitchens, formal dining rooms, and some first-floor bedrooms; several apartments have windowed kitchens and bathrooms, and some residences include in-unit washer/dryer hookups subject to board approval. There are no shared outdoor amenities; parking is not provided. The building operates under HDFC affordability restrictions and has income limits, flip-tax rules, and primary-residence and sublet restrictions governed by the co-op’s bylaws. Pet policies vary but some units allow pets with board approval. Located on a tree-lined block in Washington Heights, the building is close to the 1 and C subway lines, multiple bus routes, parks, local shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions such as the Hispanic Society Museum & Library, making it a neighborhood-oriented, transit-connected option for budget-conscious Manhattan buyers.
