A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Rosa Parks Condominium would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Rosa Parks Condominium uses the diagonal line of Saint Nicholas Avenue to create a curved corner frontage at West 118th Street. The eight-story building encloses an internal courtyard, with balconies and windows facing both the street and the shared outdoor space. Artimus developed it in the early 2000s to a design by Peter Franzese.
Its 64 residences include one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, with duplexes and larger penthouse configurations at the top. The mix extends from compact one-bedroom plans to homes with multiple terraces. A roof terrace and fitness room add common facilities above the regular residential floors.
The address sits between the Frederick Douglass Boulevard corridor and the routes through central Harlem. Morningside Park lies to the west and Central Park farther south. The building's internal courtyard supplies a separate outdoor setting within the block.
Architecture and unit composition
The curved corner creates apartment layouts that differ from the rectangular plans elsewhere in the building. Some homes have broad windows following the corner, while courtyard-facing apartments look inward. Juliet balconies appear in much of the inventory, with larger balconies and terraces attached to selected residences.
One-bedroom layouts commonly use galley kitchens. Two-bedroom plans include L-shaped kitchens with circulation at both ends, and some larger apartments use a duplex arrangement. Three-bedroom homes can have multiple bathrooms and more than one outdoor area.
Solid oak floors and decorative living-room moldings formed part of the original interiors. Individual room temperature controls were also incorporated. Later renovations have changed kitchens, bathrooms and finishes across the resale inventory.
The engineer's project description identifies commercial space at the first floor and enclosed parking and utilities below. The garage entrance is separate from the main residential entrance. The condominium's nonresidential components account for its Class 4 tax lots alongside the Class 2 apartment lots.
Building operations
The building has a full-time doorman and resident manager. Common laundry serves the apartments, with bicycle and private storage also available. The courtyard contains seating and planting, while the roof terrace provides a higher outdoor outlook.
Garage spaces are limited and can be separately deeded. Some apartment sales include a parking interest, while others offer it separately. The presence of an on-site garage therefore does not make parking part of every residence.
The 421-a benefit began in 2006 and remains active on the 2027 roll within a 25-year term. That tax program is distinct from regular common charges and from any separately assessed parking interest. The building's existing FAR of 4.28 is slightly above the stated R7A residential allowance of 4.0.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
