About the building
170 Hicks Street began as a Greek Revival brick row house in 1840. The five-story building now contains six condominium residences. Its townhouse frontage conceals broad apartment layouts, including full-floor homes with windows on three sides.
Upper residences include three-bedroom floor-throughs with direct elevator entry and private balconies. The garden home has its own street entrance, an exclusive landscaped garden and a patio reached from the kitchen and dining area. Its plan extends across two levels, with separate living, sleeping and recreation spaces. Other apartments have in-unit laundry, and some have central air conditioning and wood-burning fireplaces.

What to know if you’re buying
The six-residence condominium shares the cost of an elevator within a converted townhouse. An elevator replacement or substantial masonry project falls across a much smaller ownership group than in a large apartment building, so the allocation of those costs is particularly important here.

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.
