Denise Ivanoff Real Estate

Real estate transactions in Manhattan’s upper-west blocks often hinge on hyperlocal knowledge, and Denise Ivanoff Real Estate operates squarely in that niche. The firm handles residential sales, rentals, and leasing in a stretch of the city where pre-war charm meets Columbia University’s academic pulse. Buyers navigating co-op boards or sellers weighing timing will find the kind of street-level insight that only comes from working the same grid day after day. Around 116th Street, where brownstones give way to low-rise apartments, the market moves differently than it does just a few avenues east or west—something a neighborhood-focused agent accounts for without fanfare.

Questions about listings or paperwork can reach a direct line at (917) 727-7514, skipping the runaround that bigger brokerages sometimes layer onto simple transactions. The office sits at 256 W 116th St, a block where the rhythm of student life blends with long-term residents who’ve watched the area evolve. For exact directions or to scope the surrounding area, the map pinpoints the location between Broadway’s commercial stretch and the quieter, tree-lined side streets. This part of Harlem holds a particular energy—close enough to Central Park for weekend strolls but far enough from Midtown to keep a residential pace.
