120 Bennett Ave

An Art Deco cooperative built in 1939, this six-story prewar building contains a mix of studios, one- and three-bedroom residences across approximately 84 units. Exterior character includes period masonry, a restored façade and a grand marble lobby accented by Works Progress Administration–era murals and original Deco detailing. Apartments commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, arched doorways, built-in shelving, generous foyers and multiple deep closets; many homes have windowed eat-in kitchens and sunlit corner exposures. Shared facilities reflect a residential, community-focused scale: a landscaped back patio/garden with seating and reservable space for gatherings, 24/7 central laundry, bicycle storage, individual storage lockers (wait list), and a package room. Building operations include multiple elevators, a live-in superintendent and porter, porter services for package handling, a resident garden group that maintains plantings, and a virtual intercom system. Policy highlights: co-op governance with typical board approvals, cats permitted but dogs not allowed, storage and bike rooms subject to wait lists, and a modest flip tax. Located on a quiet, tree-lined avenue in Hudson Heights/Washington Heights, the building is a short walk to Fort Tryon Park, neighborhood shops and restaurants, and both the A express and 1 local subway lines, offering a blend of park access and convenient transit to midtown.
