One-Bedroom Investor-Friendly Condo in Central Harlem

For buyers looking to step into Manhattan ownership – whether as a first home or a smart investment – Residence 2B at 555 Lenox Avenue offers a rare and approachable opportunity in the heart of Harlem.

Set on the second floor of a well-maintained prewar elevator condominium, this quiet, west-facing one-bedroom feels both comfortable and practical. Nine-foot ceilings and newly refinished hardwood floors create an airy, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you enter. A gracious entry hallway opens into a thoughtfully designed living space that is easy to furnish and easy to live in – a layout that works just as well for everyday routines as it does for hosting friends.

The open kitchen is equipped with recessed lighting, a gas stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave, making home cooking simple and efficient. The bedroom offers privacy and comfort, complete with an en-suite bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub. Two closets – one in the bedroom and another in the hallway – provide storage that is often hard to find in a Manhattan one-bedroom.

The Savoy West is a full-service, investor-friendly condominium that continues to attract both end users and long-term investors. Residents enjoy access to a fitness center, lounge, shared roof deck, laundry room, bike storage, and virtual doorman service, along with key-fob entry. A private storage cage is included with the apartment, and pets are welcome – an important consideration for many Harlem buyers.

Conveniently located near the 2, 3, B, and C subway lines, the building offers easy commuting options while placing you moments from St. Nicholas Park, City College, the Schomburg Center, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s. It’s a location that blends neighborhood character with everyday convenience.

For buyers exploring Harlem condos under $400,000, finding a well-run building with amenities and flexible ownership policies is increasingly uncommon. This residence represents the kind of practical, attainable ownership opportunity that makes long-term sense in today’s Manhattan market.

Please note that a planned assessment of approximately $125.17 per month is anticipated.
