183 Drake Ave

Drake Lane is a low-rise, garden-style cooperative complex built in 1962 and configured primarily as two-story buildings with apartment duplexes and single-level flats. Units are commonly two-bedroom layouts with eat-in kitchens, built-in features, hardwood floors, granite counters, ceiling fans, chandeliers and primary bathrooms; several units offer semi-finished lower-level space that can be connected to create duplex plans. The landscaped grounds include manicured gardens, a communal vegetable/plant garden, a children’s playground and outdoor BBQ space that reinforce a suburban-within-the-city feel. On-site conveniences typically include assigned outdoor parking for each unit, detached one-car spots, storage rooms, laundry facilities within buildings, and bike storage. The co-op is pet-permitting (small/under-40 lb dogs in many units) and board requirements include minimum credit and financing limits; maintenance fees generally cover heat and hot water. Located near Glen Island Park and New Rochelle’s shoreline, the property sits within walking distance of bus routes, short walks to Metro-North, local shops, restaurants and marinas, offering an easy commute into Manhattan and access to nearby recreational amenities.
