About the Building and the Cooperative

Thanks to being financially sound with strong reserves, the monthly maintenance is quite reasonable and there have been significant improvements including the installation of new roofs and a video intercom system. Your pets - both canine and feline, are welcome. Reasonable policies include financing up to 90% and assistance with purchasing from non-residents. There is no flip tax.

Neighborhood Highlights

245 Bennett Avenue in minutes away from spectacular Fort Tryon Park, a City, State and National Scenic Landmark, is 67 acres of wooded paths, beautiful gardens and dramatic unspoiled vistas of the Hudson River.
