Fordham Hill Oval Apartments

Fordham Hill Oval Apartments is a mid‑century, 14‑story cooperative complex built in 1950 and organized around landscaped, campus‑style grounds. The development contains one‑, two‑ and three‑bedroom plans with traditional prewar details retained in many units — high ceilings, original woodwork, crown molding, chandeliers and recessed lighting — alongside periodic renovations that introduce granite counters and updated kitchens and baths. Buildings are interspersed with courtyards, formal gardens and a playground, and the property is gated with 24‑hour security and on‑site management. Shared services include elevator access, basement laundry with card‑operated machines, tenant storage/locker rooms, package delivery room and a management office; some buildings offer social rooms and other community spaces. Exterior features emphasize family use and convenience: private entrances for some units, nearby surface parking and an attended parking garage across the street. Utilities and many services are commonly rolled into maintenance, and pet policies are restrictive in many listings. The complex sits in the Fordham Manor/University Heights area of the Bronx with short walks to buses, express buses, multiple subway lines and Metro‑North, and immediate proximity to Fordham University, the VA Medical Center, Bronx botanical attractions, neighborhood retail and major highways.
