Overview of Lenox Terrace at 480 Lenox Avenue

When the Lenox Terrace complex was completed in 1958, it was considered “Harlem’s best address.” An expansion is currently underway to bring five new towers, not to mention new park space and amenities like a gym and roof deck, to the site to make it live up to that title in the face of increased competition. Until then, apartments at student-friendly prices have been renovated with hardwood floors, bright living areas, and generous storage space. Its location near the 135th Street subway station makes for an easy commute to Columbia.

Broker & Resident Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "historic Harlem high-rise" offers "spacious, light-filled apartments" with "breathtaking views" and "renovated interiors." While the "prime location" near express trains and "professional doormen" draw praise, the "sense of community" among long-term residents stands out as a highlight. However, "management responsiveness" can be "hit or miss," and "maintenance issues" are frequently noted. "Convenient on-site laundry" and "ample street parking" round out the amenities, though some gripe about "dated common areas" and "slow repairs." Best for those who value "generous square footage" and "doorman service" while being willing to "advocate for themselves" with building management.
