Farband Housing

Farband Housing is a six-story pre-war cooperative erected in 1928, located in the Allerton Avenue vicinity of the Bronx. The masonry building houses one-, two- and three-bedroom co-op apartments that preserve original period details such as high and cathedral ceilings, decorative moldings, hardwood floors and generous window runs. Individual units commonly feature eat-in kitchens, upgraded granite counters, kitchen islands or pantries, walk-in closets, soaking tubs and other layout variations including master bedrooms located on lower levels. Building systems include an elevator, high-speed internet access, on-site laundry, a resident superintendent, and storage units available for rent. Common exterior spaces center on a gated private courtyard and small garden with mailbox access; security cameras are installed on each floor. Maintenance fees are noted to be comprehensive, typically including electricity, cooking gas, heat, hot water and property taxes. The co-op enforces owner-occupancy and restricts subletting; bylaw conditions require cash-only purchases. Pets under a specified weight are allowed. The location offers easy access to the Allerton Avenue #2/#5 subway stop, express bus service to Manhattan, nearby schools, shops and the local public library, delivering a neighborhood-oriented urban residential experience.
