"An Irish immigrant designed a neighborhood on the Upper West Side of Manhattan that looks more like a European alleyway than a metropolitan side street. Pomander Walk, a small gated community that's been around for over 100 years, is wrapped by 94th and 95th Street in Manhattan, only a few blocks away from Central Park. Yet many city residents are completely unaware that this small oasis exists."
"Now, there's an opportunity to own a piece of the picturesque side street. A rare two condos hit the market for a combined $1.39 million. The units for sale are one-bedroom condos on the second and third floors that can be combined into one duplex. "It really is a hidden gem," listing agent Kim Shankman told Business Insider of the street. "You're on it and you can't even believe you're in New York City.""
"The micro-neighborhood, built in 1921 by Irish developer Thomas Healy, gets its name from the 1910 English play "Pomander Walk." In 1982, it was designated a New York City landmark. According to Shankman, the collection of 61 units was supposed to be one large building, but the developer ran out of money and instead built individual Tudor-style homes."
Pomander Walk is a gated Tudor-style micro-neighborhood on the Upper West Side, built in 1921 by Irish developer Thomas Healy and named after a 1910 English play. The 61-unit collection was designated a New York City landmark in 1982 and resembles a European alleyway a few blocks from Central Park. Two rarely available one-bedroom condos on the second and third floors are listed separately for $699,000 each, or $1.39 million combined, and can be combined into a duplex. Owners typically hold units for decades, making sales uncommon and notable when they occur.
