The Van Cort

The Van Cort is a mid-century, six-story cooperative completed in 1956, occupying a block-facing position adjacent to Van Cortlandt Park in the Kingsbridge area of the Bronx. The property is composed primarily of two-bedroom apartments finished in a pre-war aesthetic with hardwood floors, high ceilings, and oversize windows that emphasize daylight and park views. Interiors commonly include eat-in kitchens with windowed layouts, pantry space, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, multiple closets including walk-in arrangements in some units, and windowed bathrooms. Building-level features include an elevator, on-site laundry, a live-in superintendent, courtyard and storage facilities, and private outdoor spaces exceeding 60 square feet for select units. Limited parking is managed with a permitted monthly fee and additional spaces available nearby. The coop’s management has historically permitted low down payments (as low as 10%) and maintains moderate monthly maintenance assessments; cats are allowed while dogs are typically not. Its immediate context provides direct access to Van Cortlandt Park recreational amenities, nearby retail centers (Target, BJ's, TJ Maxx, Stop & Shop, etc.), and robust transit links including the 1 train, Metro-North, express and local buses, plus quick ramps to the Deegan Expressway and Henry Hudson Parkway.
