273 Bennett Ave

A mid-century cooperative complex of low-rise brick buildings constructed in 1951, Fort Tryon Gardens comprises eight-story elevator buildings clustered around landscaped courtyards and formal garden beds. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts with classic prewar-inspired details — restored hardwood floors, crown moldings, high ceilings in select homes, and eat-in or windowed kitchens. Typical in-unit features include efficient foyers, plentiful closet/storage options, and renovated kitchens and baths in many apartments. Shared resources emphasize daily convenience: on-site laundry facilities, bike room, rentable storage, a live-in superintendent, building elevator access, and garage parking. Grounds are notable for manicured gardens and a central courtyard that creates a residential campus feel adjacent to Fort Tryon Park. The co-op permits pets with approval, allows high-ratio financing (often up to 90%), and accepts pied-a-terre purchasers; some units and the complex have periodic capital assessments tied to building-wide projects such as roof work. The property sits directly across from the A train (190th Street) with the 1 train a short walk away, offering swift access downtown while fronting one of Manhattan’s largest parklands and cultural destinations.
