290 Collins Ave

A mid-century, nine-story cooperative built in 1949, this residential property offers predominantly one-bedroom layouts alongside larger multi-bedroom units and penthouse configurations. The architecture is straightforward and functional, set within a park-like courtyard and garden that frame the building and provide private outdoor space for residents. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, high ceilings, built-ins, crown molding, and period details such as cathedral ceiling elements and decorative chandeliers; many units have been renovated with granite or marble counters, modern stainless-steel appliances, and updated baths. Common areas include an elevator, lobby/vestibule entrances, on-site mailboxes, and storage rooms; laundry facilities and a bike room are available in the building. Parking is largely handled via deeded garage spaces attached to the coop, with some units offering one or more reserved spots. The property is pet friendly with modest weight restrictions for dogs in some units. Building systems have seen recent capital improvements — new roof, elevators, boilers, and energy-efficient windows — which reduce ongoing maintenance disruptions. Located in Fleetwood within Mount Vernon, the cooperative sits within walking distance of the Fleetwood Metro-North station, local shopping and dining, and major parkways, combining commuter convenience with a neighborhood, small-town feel.
