Welcome to Washington Heights and this amazing opportunity to own a one-bedroom, one-bathroom HDFC cooperative at 501 West 156th Street, Unit 22. Perfectly situated on the second floor with only one easy flight of stairs, this home offers approximately 450 square feet of bright and efficient living space in a vibrant and historic Manhattan neighborhood. The layout is cozy yet functional, with natural light filling the rooms, making it an ideal home for first-time buyers, city commuters, or anyone looking to enjoy the best of uptown living at an affordable price. Pets are welcome, and financing is easy with no limits on loan-to-value ratios, plus many banks are already familiar with lending in this building. The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the 1 and C trains, giving you quick access to Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, while nearby highways including the Henry Hudson Parkway and the George Washington Bridge make travel in and out of the city simple and convenient.

The flip tax is paid by the seller—20 percent of profit if sold within two years, 15 percent if sold between two and five years, and 10 percent if sold after five years. Subletting is permitted on a case-by-case basis, and while pied-a-terres are not allowed, this makes for an even stronger community feel.
