Overview of 1 West 126th Street

1 West 126th Street is a landmark, pre-war co-op building located in the heart of Harlem, specifically in the desirable neighborhood of Mt. Morris Park. This art deco structure has a rich history, having been home to notable figures such as Eartha Kitt, Billy Eckstine, and Della Reese. The building features an elevator, a live-in super, and an on-site laundry room, making it a convenient choice for residents. The co-op is governed by income restrictions, which are set at 165% of the area median income, ensuring affordability for its residents. Apartments in 1 West 126th Street vary in size and layout, with options including spacious studios and two-bedroom units. Many apartments boast original details, such as hardwood floors and formal entry foyers, while some have been beautifully renovated to include modern amenities. Common features include large windows that provide ample natural light and generous closet space. The building's prime location offers easy access to public transportation, with multiple subway lines and bus routes just a block away, as well as proximity to popular dining spots like Sylvia’s Soul Food and Red Rooster. The co-op allows cats but has a strict no-dog policy. Financing options are available, permitting up to 90% mortgage financing. Additionally, there is a flip tax based on the length of ownership, which is strictly enforced, making it clear that this building is intended for primary residences rather than investment properties. Overall, 1 West 126th Street presents a unique opportunity for those looking to own a piece of Harlem's vibrant 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.
