Overview of Garden Court at 208 West 119th Street

Garden Court is a pre-war cooperative building completed in 1900 and located at 208 West 119th Street in Harlem. The 5-story elevator building contains 159 units and operates as an HDFC (Housing Development Fund Corporation) cooperative, making it subject to income restrictions set at 165% of Area Median Income. Current income limits range from approximately $179,355 for single occupants to $240,570 for three person households, with all cash purchases typically required.

The building's apartments commonly feature high ceilings ranging from 9 to 11 feet, distinctive bay windows with window seats, and rich hardwood floors. Many units have been renovated with modern kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry. The apartments benefit from excellent natural light, particularly those with southern and western exposures, and several units showcase original architectural details like exposed brick walls and beamed ceilings.

Residents enjoy access to an expansive 11,000 square foot restored courtyard, along with building amenities including a live-in super, virtual doorman, package room, laundry facilities, and community room. The building maintains a pet friendly policy and offers additional storage for a fee. A bike room is planned for 2025, and the building employs two porters along with security patrol services.

Garden Court's location provides convenient access to multiple subway lines, with the B/C trains at 116th Street and Frederick Douglas Boulevard and the 2/3 trains at 116th Street and Lenox Avenue nearby. The neighborhood offers proximity to Harlem's restaurant scene, various grocery options including Whole Foods and Trader Joe's on 125th Street, and easy access to both Central Park (8 blocks away) and Morningside Park (7 blocks away).

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.
