137 West 142nd Street is a 1920, five story pre-war co-op in Central Harlem with 21 apartments. Its homes retain the period's defining spatial features, including high ceilings, hardwood floors, archways, French doors, formal dining rooms, and oversized windows. Two bedroom layouts recur in the building, often with separate living and dining areas and a kitchen or bathroom with a window.
The building has a new intercom with remote door release, community basement storage, an updated roof, and a superintendent. It operates as a market rate co-op rather than an HDFC, with no income restrictions; strong financials and no underlying mortgage are also cited. Pets are allowed subject to board approval, and subletting is permitted.
Apartment renovations range from light updates to gut renovations, with updated kitchens and bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and upgraded electrical or plumbing systems appearing in multiple homes. Southern, northern, eastern, and rear exposures are represented, including elevated lower floor apartments that face away from the street and upper floor walk-ups with bright southern light. The building's recurring layouts emphasize genuine rooms rather than open-plan arrangements, with flexible second bedrooms and dining rooms that can serve more than one function.
The address is close to Harlem's cultural institutions, including the Schomburg Center, Apollo Theater, Studio Museum, and Victoria Theater, as well as restaurants and cafes such as Ponty Bistro, Belle Harlem, Manhattanville Coffee, Musette, and Yatenga. The 2 and 3 trains stop at 145th Street and Lenox Avenue, while the A, B, C, and D trains stop at 145th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are also nearby, and St. Charles Borromeo Elementary School is one block west.

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.
