518 135th St 5C

Welcome to 518 West 135th Street, a pre-war HDFC co-op in the heart of Hamilton Heights — one block from City College and just minutes from Columbia University, Riverside Park, and St. Nicholas Park. This rare listing offers an exceptional opportunity to own a large, affordable home in one of Upper Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods. Please note: This is an income-restricted HDFC co-op. Income limits apply, but the application process is simple and straightforward. This bright 3-bedroom, 1-bath home sits on the top (5th) floor of a well-maintained walk-up with just three units per floor — offering added privacy and quiet. A long entry foyer leads to the first and largest bedroom, complete with its own closet, plus two additional hallway closets for extra storage. The roughly 55-foot-long layout continues to an open kitchen featuring a breakfast bar, dining area, full-size refrigerator, and 4-burner stove, all lit by an east-facing window. Beyond the kitchen, you'll find two more bedrooms, each with built-in closets, and a living room with northern exposure. Throughout the apartment: hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a windowed bathroom add to the home's bright, airy feel. Situated between Amsterdam Avenue and Riverside Drive, this co-op puts you close to City College, Columbia University, multiple subway lines, and two beautiful parks — with sweeping Hudson River views every time you come and go. Single person max income: $136,080. Two people max income: $155,520. With its size, location, and low monthly maintenance, Unit 5C is a standout opportunity in the HDFC co-op market. *Some pictures are virtually staged
