House-Hunting in NYC w/ $150K
Posted by Noah Rosenblatt on April 21, 2006 at 11.08 AM
A: Check out what $150,000 buys you in Manhattan: 229 West 144th Street in West Harlem where the description is long enough to describe a 3,000 sq. ft. penthouse asking $5M!
Brand New to the market with the first showing at Saturday's Open House, this certainly is priced low enough to gather a significant crowd! This is 1 of 2 apartments that this Corcoran team are selling in the same building; Apt. 46 is asking $175K and has a slightly bigger floorplan.
According to the listing:
Nestled between two of Harlem's most prestigious neighborhoods...Sugar Hill and Historic Hamilton Heights you will simply not find more value for your dollar anywhere on the Island of Manhattan. Minutes away from many area attractions including Bradhurst Park where you can cool off in the outdoor pool open from July 4-Labor Day, St. Nicholas Park, Aaron Davis Hall at City College, The Alvin Ailey Dance Academy, and so much more! Supermarket shopping will be a breeze at the all new Pathmark Supermarket located at 145th Street and 8th Avenue.

I live in the Harlem area. 110th & 5th Ave. and we are being priced out. I don't know my area anymore. I grew up there,moved to Rockland County and back in 1979. I feel that there are pros and cons on the gentrification. The negative side is that lies were told to residents of what to expect of their housing situation. Being forced out by greed is a disgusting thing. Even the small business' that I enjoyed for more than 50 years are gone. But than on the positive there are more "police".
