Barnes Gardens

Barnes Gardens is a six-story cooperative built in 1951, composed primarily of one- and two-bedroom residences across a low-rise masonry structure. The exterior presents a traditional mid-century apartment-house scale set on a tree-lined Bronx block; individual units typically feature high ceilings and original or restored natural woodwork. Interiors range from recently gut-renovated apartments with new wiring, windows, and hardwood floors to more classically finished units with built-in features, formal dining areas, and roomy entrance foyers. Kitchens often include eat-in space, substantial custom cabinetry, granite or quartz counters and modern stainless appliances in renovated units. Shared building services and systems include an elevator, a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry room, storage, and mailbox facilities. There is a parking garage managed by a waiting list and building policies permit pets in many units; financing options and board requirements vary by unit (some sponsor units incur no board approval). Located near Pelham Parkway and well served by the 2 and 5 subway lines and multiple bus routes, Barnes Gardens sits within a neighborhood of houses, shops, parks and institutional amenities such as the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden, supporting a commuter-friendly, family-oriented urban lifestyle.
