For buyers looking to combine investment with luxury living, the parlor-level unit offers a private backyard, while the top-floor penthouse boasts iconic park views-perfect for an end-user or high-end rental.

The Neighborhood: Unstoppable Growth & Unmatched Lifestyle

This coveted landmarked district is experiencing major development while maintaining the timeless charm of Harlem's most historic streetscape. Just steps from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and top-tier dining, the property is also within easy reach of major transportation hubs:

  • 2 Blocks to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Subway Lines
  • 3 Minutes to Metro-North
  • Quick Access to Columbia University, Upper East & West Sides, and Midtown
Why Harlem? Why Now?

Harlem has emerged as a top destination for long-term real estate appreciation, with rising property values, luxury developments, and a cultural revival that makes it one of NYC's most exciting investment markets. With limited housing inventory on this protected historic park block, 5 East 124th Street stands out as a rare acquisition for investors seeking both immediate returns and long-term value growth.

This is not just an investment-it's a chance to own a piece of Harlem's history with guaranteed long-term upside in an area where demand is surging, but supply remains limited.

Seize this opportunity to invest in one of Manhattan's most storied and evolving neighborhoods.
