Overview of 547 West 147th Street

547 West 147th Street, known as Buckingham Palace, is a historic elevator apartment building located in the vibrant Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. The building features a range of spacious apartments, including 3 to 4-bedroom layouts, with original architectural details such as wainscoting, wooden beams, and French doors that have been preserved since its construction over a century ago. The apartments are designed to allow for customization, with large kitchens that can accommodate in-unit washer/dryers, and a pet-friendly policy in place. The building's prime location, referred to as the Columbia Sandwich, places it just north of Columbia University's main campuses and south of the Columbia Medical Center. Residents enjoy easy access to public transportation, with the #1 train at 145th Street and the A, B, C, D trains nearby. The neighborhood is bustling with restaurants, bars, and cafes, and offers proximity to Riverbank State Park, New York Presbyterian Hospital, and Yeshiva University, enhancing its appeal for both families and professionals. HDFC income limits apply, making it accessible to a range of buyers, with financing options available through Amalgamated Bank. The building also has a flip tax of 15% on resale profits, which is an important consideration for potential investors. Overall, Buckingham Palace presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a historic property with character and a strong community feel.

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.
