Sunlight pours into the home throughout the day, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

In addition, 161 West 133rd St also qualifies for special lending rates and programs.

Situated next to a community garden, the building offers a peaceful residential setting while remaining close to everything Harlem has to offer. Conveniently located near the 2/3 express trains at 135th Street and the B/C trains at 135th Street, commuting throughout Manhattan is seamless. Nearby bus lines include the M2, M7, and M102. Outdoor spaces like St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park, and Jackie Robinson Park are all within close reach, along with neighborhood favorites including Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, restaurants, cafés, and shopping.

Set on historic West 133rd Street, a block known for its deep musical and cultural history, this home offers the perfect mix of warmth, convenience, and value in one of Manhattan’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

As an added benefit to the buyer, the seller will pay the ongoing assessment, currently scheduled through 2031, in full at closing.

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.

Where an abatement applies, Property Tax is the amount owed after it. Abatements are granted to the property and do not necessarily transfer to a new owner.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1019181005. 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.
