Overview of 270 Convent Avenue

270 Convent Avenue is a 10 story prewar co-op completed in 1916 in Hamilton Heights Historic District. Located at the southwest corner of West 141st Street, the elevator building contains 60 units and operates as an HDFC co-op with income restrictions at 120% of Area Median Income. The building is steps from City College and close to the A, C, B, and D subway lines at 145th Street.

Apartments feature classic pre war details including nine foot ceilings, original moldings, restored oak doors, and oak wood floors throughout. Corner units offer northeast exposure with views of the George Washington Bridge and Yankee Stadium. Kitchens in renovated units tend toward open concept layouts with wood countertops and glass tile, while some apartments require complete renovation. Bedrooms are generously sized with large closets and open city views.

Building amenities include laundry facilities, a fitness center, a Zen garden, and both bike and cage storage. The building charges a 30% flip tax payable by the seller. The tree lined block is known for its architectural charm and brownstones, offering a quieter residential feel within the vibrant Harlem neighborhood.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
