A mid‑century, 21‑story cooperative completed in 1957 and set within an eight‑acre landscaped campus. The complex contains roughly 40 residences per building with a mix of studios, one‑ and two‑bedroom floor plans; units often feature high ceilings, large windows, generous closet storage, and eat‑in or pass‑through kitchens. Exterior assets include mature gardens, walking paths, private terraces and balconies; many apartments look onto planted courtyards or wider river and city vistas from higher floors. Shared facilities are extensive and community‑oriented: a modern fitness center, indoor and outdoor children’s playrooms, daycare, activity rooms (ceramics, woodworking, photography), theater/meeting rooms, game rooms, laundry, bike and building storage, and an on‑site parking garage. Building operations emphasize security and maintenance with 24/7 security and a live‑in superintendent; the co‑op has stable financials and allows pets, storage lockers, and some flexibility for gifting and subletting depending on board rules. Located in Morningside Heights between Morningside and Riverside Parks, the development sits within walking distance of Columbia University, Barnard, Manhattan School of Music and multiple subway and bus lines, providing a campus‑like residential experience anchored by cultural and recreational access.
