## Property Overview

Turnkey 2 Bed / 2 Bath | Full-Service Condo | $134/Month Taxes

If you've been looking for a modern, full-service condo in Harlem without the compromises — this is it.

Unit 411 at The Aurum is a move-in ready 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence, with the kind of finishes and building amenities you'd expect to pay significantly more for. White Oak plank flooring sets the tone from the entry. The kitchen is lined with lacquered cabinetry and LED lighting, with a full stainless steel appliance package — fridge, microwave, stove, and dishwasher — and an open layout that flows naturally into a spacious living and dining area filled with light. Avenue-facing windows offer an open, elevated view of the neighborhood — the kind of perspective that makes the apartment feel larger and brighter than the floor plan suggests.

Both bedrooms are thoughtfully proportioned with generous closet space. The primary bath is finished with a glass stall shower, porcelain tile, and Kohler fixtures. The second bath features a Kohler soaking tub.  An in-unit washer/dryer and dedicated storage add the kind of convenience that is rarely offered

The Aurum delivers a genuine full-service experience: 24-hour attended lobby, penthouse-level fitness center, residents' lounge and media room, bike room, package room, and two levels of furnished outdoor space complete with grilling stations for dining al fresco. Pets welcome.

Built in 2015 with 115 residences, The Aurum sits in the heart of Central Harlem — steps from the 2/3 at 135th Street, a short walk to the B/C, and A/B/C/D at 125th. Historic brownstones, new restaurants, and one of New York's most exciting neighborhoods are right outside your door.

Property taxes on this unit are approximately $134 per month, benefitting from a tax abatement that expires in 2043

. For a full-service building with these finishes at this price point — that number speaks for itself.

Based on two-bedroom sales at Aurum with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot, sales at Aurum

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2016 | $1,077/ft² | 40 |
| 2017 | $1,048/ft² | 57 |
| 2018 | $580/ft² | 8 |
| 2022 | $988/ft² | 6 |
| 2023 | $968/ft² | 5 |
| 2024 | $933/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2026 YTD | $760/ft² | 3 (thin) |

Based on recorded sales at Aurum. 2026 is year-to-date.

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1019161247. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
