Lafayette Gardens is a mid-rise, postwar cooperative completed in 1951 that spans six stories and contains studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments across approximately 192 units. The complex presents a traditional brick façade with courtyard-focused planning; many residences are corner or double-exposure units offering abundant natural light and occasional Hudson River glimpses. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, renovated kitchens with stone counters and stainless appliances, multiple closets including walk-in and his-and-hers variants, separate formal dining areas or foyers, and windowed bathrooms. Shared building amenities center on landscaped planted courtyards and garden spaces with seating and Wi-Fi, plus on-site storage lockers, bike rooms, two central laundry facilities, and an underground parking garage (fee/wait list). Building operations include a part-time doorman (afternoons to late evening), a live-in superintendent, package room, BuildingLink communications, and recently completed capital improvements such as new roofs, elevators and upgraded common windows. The co-op is pet friendly, offers utility-inclusive maintenance packages for many apartments, and permits high financing percentages. Located in Hudson Heights near Fort Tryon and Fort Washington Parks, the property is within a short walk of the A express subway, other local transit, neighborhood restaurants, and riverfront recreational paths that connect to Manhattan’s west side bike and running routes.
