The market is extremely active in Morningside Heights and around Morningside Park right now. Several single-family or restored live-with-income townhouses have come on the market in the past few months, and many have elicited multiple bids. 

Buyers know that values in this area are rising. End-users can expect a healthy return on a relatively small investment. They can also expect a terrific quality of life – Columbia University, Morningside Park, express trains, and a flourishing restaurant scene are all in the neighborhood. 

Developers are beginning to pounce on Morningside Heights and Central Harlem. Each new upscale condo development solidifies the neighborhood’s values. 

Another huge perk is low taxes. Throughout Harlem, townhouse real estate taxes are a fraction of what you would pay on the Upper West Side or elsewhere. It’s not uncommon to see taxes under $5,000/year, although rising prices promise tax increases over the next few decades.
