The Garrison Apartments at 435 Convent Avenue is a six story prewar co-op located in the heart of Hamilton Heights' Sugar Hill Historic District in Manhattan. Built in 1902 and converted to a cooperative in 1929, it holds the distinction of being Sugar Hill's first and longest established co-op. This intimate, 29 unit Beaux Arts landmark features a gracious lobby, granite, brick, and terra cotta façade, and is both a NYC landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building's historical significance is deeply woven into Harlem's cultural legacy. Named after abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, The Garrison was a magnet for luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. Notable residents included poet Countee Cullen, Jules Bledsoe (the first major Black opera star in the United States and the original voice behind "Ol' Man River" in Jerome Kern's Show Boat, who also served as an original shareholder and board member), Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Sr. (pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church), and his son, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Within these walls, Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston collaborated on Mule Bone, their celebrated and only joint theatrical work.
Apartments at The Garrison showcase exceptional prewar craftsmanship with 9.5 to 10 foot ceilings, original wood paneled doors, exquisite period moldings, decorative fireplaces, bay windows, hardwood floors, and wainscoting in select units. The building is 100% owner occupied and offers modern conveniences including an elevator, ButterflyMX video security system, live-in superintendent, central laundry room, storage room, bike storage, and a beautifully maintained shareholder garden.
Building policies include cats only (no dogs), no subletting, no in-unit washer/dryer, and primary residence required. The location offers exceptional convenience, situated just one block from the 145th Street A/B/C/D express subway station, providing 15 minute access to Midtown Manhattan. The neighborhood is surrounded by outstanding amenities including the 28 acre Riverbank State Park on the Hudson, the newly renovated 11 acre Jackie Robinson Park with indoor and outdoor gym facilities, and proximity to City College, Columbia University (one subway stop away), Dance Theatre of Harlem, Harlem School of the Arts, Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling, and the Hispanic Society Museum & Library.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
