CONVENIENT LOCATION:

Located just at the beginning of East Harlem, where the revamping of the neighborhood is at its forefront, you are getting a first-hand look at its incredible transformation with luxury condominiums and other high-end buildings being built along with trendy shops, cafes and bars springing up one after another.

This new influx of residents is not only demanding a better quality of life, but also creating a higher price demand. Luckily, as a "pioneer" so to speak, you are arriving at just the right time, for market experts predict that East Harlem is set to become another Soho.

The convenience of the area is primarily a result of having the 6th subway train just 4 blocks away at 103rd street and Lexington avenue.

Moreover, the East River is just a block away to enjoy day runs and a peaceful river view. Additionally, you have two hospitals nearby: Mount Sinai just 6 blocks west and Metropolitan Hospital just 5 blocks south. And, besides the plethora of affordable neighborhood delis and grocery stores, you also have Costco and Target at 116th Street and York Ave.

For ever more shopping options for either clothes or knickknacks, 116th street and Lexington Ave offers most things you can think of. In the mood for some culture? Museum mile is within a short distance, including the fantastic New York City Museum of New York is located on 103rd and 5th ave.
