☞ DWELL: 8 West 119th Street Co-op

This HDFC co-op is on the outside edge of the Mount Morris Park Historic District and might be the most affordable one bedroom in town. The one-bedroom apartment, which is in a prewar building a couple of buildings from 5th Avenue, must be on the small side, but with a maintenance of $450 a month, it would seem that this could be a good starter. The street looks much nicer than what you would find on the Lower East Side and is quieter, too. There seem to be some interior prewar details, including a fireplace in the living room. What's the asking price? $139.5K.
