Historic 1910 pre-war co-op on a tree-lined Hamilton Heights street with renovated apartments featuring modern finishes and classic charm. HDFC income-restricted building offering affordable Manhattan living near parks, dining, and multiple subway lines.
Laurel Court, at 552 West 141st Street, is a 1910 pre-war HDFC co-op in Hamilton Heights with six stories and 24 apartments. Its residences retain period details including high ceilings, original transom windows, restored trim, and stained doors incorporated into renovated layouts. The building occupies a quiet block between Broadway and Hamilton Place.
Apartment layouts include two bedroom and three bedroom homes, with a flexible configuration that allows the living and dining area to become a third bedroom or home office. Large windows and northern, southern, or eastern exposures bring natural light, with some views extending toward the surrounding townhouses, a pre-war courtyard, or Alexander Hamilton Playground. Renovated kitchens and hardwood floors recur among the apartments, and in-unit laundry is permitted or installed in multiple homes.
The building is professionally managed and has video intercom entry, with pets under 25 pounds permitted. As income restricted affordable housing, it operates under HDFC eligibility rules, and a 30 percent flip tax applies to resale. These policies sit alongside apartment features that preserve the building’s pre-war character while accommodating modern renovations.
Hamilton Heights landmarks and open space surround the block, including Riverbank State Park, Riverside Park, the Hudson River Greenway, St. Nicholas Park, Alexander Hamilton Playground, and Historic Hamilton Grange. City College and Columbia University are nearby, as are restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, and other daily services.

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.
