501 W 123Rd St

A mid-century cooperative residential complex built in 1956, this 21-story property is part of a larger multi-building community set across extensive landscaped grounds. The inventory skews toward two-bedroom layouts and studios, many units featuring high ceilings, oversized casement windows, terraces or small private balconies, open or eat-in kitchens, and plentiful closet storage. Interiors range from original condition to recently renovated apartments with modern kitchens, updated baths, and floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames garden or city views. Common facilities are comprehensive and campus-like: a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor and outdoor playrooms, workshops for woodworking and ceramics, activity and game rooms, an on-site day care and preschool, meeting/theater spaces, laundry, bicycle and storage rooms, and an on-site parking garage. The grounds include manicured lawns, gardens, walking paths, and a courtyard that contribute to a park-like environment amid the city. Building services include 24/7 security, concierge/management offices, and cooperative governance; the complex is pet-friendly with restrictions and offers bulk-purchased utilities. Located in Morningside Heights, the property sits close to Columbia University, cultural venues, parks and extensive transit connections (1, A, B, C, D lines and multiple bus routes), supporting a walkable, institution-rich neighborhood lifestyle.
