2 Fordham Hl Oval

Built in 1950, this 17-story cooperative occupies a landscaped, gated campus in the University Heights/Fordham Manor section of the Bronx. The complex comprises mid‑century high‑rise blocks set across roughly seven acres of lawns, gardens and outdoor sitting areas, with playgrounds and tree‑lined paths linking buildings. Residences are predominantly one- and two‑bedroom units featuring features typical of the era such as parquet hardwood floors, high ceilings and foyer entries; many apartments offer corner exposures and panoramic views toward the Harlem River, the Palisades and Manhattan. Kitchens range from original galley and eat‑in layouts with pantry storage to updated installs with stainless appliances; bathrooms are a mix of vintage and renovated conditions. Building interiors include passenger and freight elevators, community rooms, basement laundry and locker/storage facilities. On‑site operations are robust: 24/7 security and gate attendants, a full management and maintenance team with live‑in superintendents, package handling, and a maintenance package that commonly includes utilities, taxes and basic cable. Resident services extend to fitness facilities in the basement, on‑site postal drop‑off, and access to an off‑site garage for a fee. Pet policy is restrictive (no dogs in many listings). The complex’s transportation access is strong: walking distance to Metro‑North, multiple express subway lines and bus routes, plus nearby highways providing swift connections to Manhattan and regional destinations. The overall character is campus‑like co‑op living offering scale, upkeep, and plentiful shared amenities within a residential Bronx neighborhood.
