4 Fordham Hl Oval

A mid-century 16-story residential cooperative built in 1950, this gated complex occupies a landscaped parcel characterized by mature trees, lawns and courtyard gardens. The property contains one-bedroom, two-bedroom and studio plans, many retaining original details such as parquet or hardwood floors and open layouts updated with eat-in or galley kitchens and modernized counters and appliances. Common interior features include multiple elevators, formal dining areas in larger units, breakfast bars, walk-in closets, generous pantry space and some private entrance configurations. Shared building amenities focus on community and convenience: 24/7 security at the gated entry, on-site management and super, basement laundry, storage lockers, package rooms, multiple community rooms, a playground and outdoor sitting areas with a central fountain. Parking is available through a nearby garage at discounted rates; some listings note included utilities within maintenance fees and certain units carry below‑ground oil heating systems. The pet policy is restrictive (cats commonly allowed, dogs often prohibited or limited) and subletting or renting may require board approval and owner occupancy minimums. Located in the Fordham Hill/University Heights area, the property sits within walking distance of subway and Metro‑North access, bus lines, schools and shopping, offering a suburban-feeling campus within New York City.
