Overview of 517 West 48th Street

517 West 48th Street is a five story, 18 unit pre-war HDFC co-op in a townhouse scale walk up on a mid-block, tree-lined stretch of Hell's Kitchen. Built in 1901, the building has a compact residential profile and apartments ranging from studios to two bedrooms.

Windowed kitchens, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and generous closet space recur across the apartments. Two bedroom layouts include split plans that separate the sleeping areas from the main living space, while exposures and light vary by home. The building also has a common backyard and bike storage.

The co-op operates as income restricted affordable housing, with eligibility administered through local government housing agencies. Homes must be primary residences, and investors and pied-à-terres are not permitted. One pet per household is allowed with board approval; dogs are not permitted.

517 West 48th Street sits near the Theater District, with Hudson River Park a few blocks west and restaurants including Añejo and Chez Josephine nearby. The 59th Street Columbus Circle station serves the A, B, C, D, and 1 trains, while the surrounding area also includes Restaurant Row, Times Square, and the Hudson River Greenway.

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.
