Building: 180 Van Cortlandt Park S

The Van Cort is a well managed and maintained co-op building situated directly across the street from Van Cortlandt Park, the third largest park in New York City. Comprised of more than a thousand acres of northwest Bronx green space, Van Cortlandt Park features fields and playgrounds surrounded by a forest of oak trees fed by Tibbets Brook. The park is home to the country’s first public golf course, the oldest house in the Bronx, and the borough’s largest freshwater lake. You can also find several miles of hiking and biking trails, as well as facilities for baseball, basketball, cricket, cross-country running, football, horseback riding, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, and track and field.

Built in 1956 as a rental building and converted to co-op ownership in the 1980s, the Van Cort features an elevator, live-in super, laundry on premises, parking, and basement storage units. With abundant pre-war charm, apartments offer high ceilings, large windows, and gorgeous wood flooring. This 6-story, 73-unit building sits between the 238th Street and 242nd Street 1 train stations, the first stops on the line, assuring you a seat for your commute. You’re also minutes from the Metro North, the MTA buses and Express buses. It’s easy on-and-off the Deegan Expressway and you’re minutes to the Henry Hudson Parkway and the George Washington Bridge – truly a commuter’s dream. Life at The Van Cort is the perfect balance of nature and city.
