About This Property
LOCATION | LOCATION | LOCATION — Manhattan's Best Value Under $1M
Welcome to 408 8th Avenue, Unit 5C — a sun-drenched Flex 2-Bedroom condo with a private terrace at the crossroads of Midtown Manhattan and the Hudson Yards Corridor.
Rarely does an opportunity like this surface in one of Manhattan's most coveted and rapidly evolving neighborhoods. Originally a generous one-bedroom, this unit has been thoughtfully converted into a true Flex 2-Bedroom layout — two distinct, private rooms that work beautifully as a primary residence or as a high-yield investment property. The versatility here is genuine.
The expansive living room spills effortlessly onto your private terrace, where golden-hour sunsets over the Hudson Palisades and the gleaming towers of Hudson Yards paint a nightly scene that never gets old. On the opposite end of the home, the bedroom wing offers a surprisingly peaceful escape from the pulse of the city — generous, quiet, and flooded with morning light. Multiple closets throughout ensure storage is never an afterthought.
The kitchen features marble finishes and premium stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A full bathroom and rich hardwood floors complete a home that is as livable as it is investable.
Step outside and you are two blocks from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, moments from the High Line, and surrounded by the best of New York's dining, culture, and transit. Every major West Side subway line — A, C, E, 1, 2, 3, N, Q, R, W — is at your doorstep.
This doorman, pet-friendly building offers a live/work policy, making it one of the most flexible condos in the neighborhood for professionals and investors alike.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Private outdoor space under 60 square feet, listed as a balcony, opens off the living room of this 712-square-foot one bedroom at 408 8th Avenue. At that size it's a spot for coffee or a few plates rather than a full dinner, but it gives the living room a second place to sit, and the listing notes a city view from the apartment.
If you cook often, the Sub-Zero refrigerator is worth a close look, along with the marble finishes in the kitchen and the stainless steel appliances. Ideal Food Basket is about 5 minutes away on foot and Whole Foods Market about 8, so a grocery run stays short.
The listing describes the bedroom as quiet and as getting morning light, and it sits apart from the living room. Multiple closets run through the apartment, and there's a full bathroom, hardwood floors and central air. Washer and dryer are allowed in the unit, and the building has laundry.
The building has an elevator, on-site management and a doorman, and cats and dogs are allowed. The A, C and E at 34 St-Penn Station are about 5 minutes away on foot, the 1 at 28 St is about 5 minutes, and the High Line is about 8 minutes. Madison Square Garden is about 3 minutes away.
