Idyllic Natural Surroundings

Yearning for the restorative qualities of nature? It’s just an elevator ride away. The NaBors Apartments are one of the few co-ops in Manhattan with private resident gardens, both in the courtyard and on the roof deck where you’ll find a shaded tree grove, a garden nook, and a pergola-covered dining area, plus room for play.

In addition to the co-op’s private outdoor havens, Fort Tryon Park is just around the corner. The park’s 67 acres include 8 miles of winding pathways, a heather garden, stunning views of the Hudson River, and The Cloisters, which houses the Medieval art collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Fort Tryon Park is resplendent with trees that provide a dazzling, ever-changing pageant of colors throughout the seasons. Walk, run, bike, lounge, or catch some live jazz at pop-up concerts.

You’re also within walking distance of Inwood Hill Park, home to the only remaining natural forest in Manhattan. Take a leisurely pace as you follow the winding pathways through the hills to the craggy bluff overlooking the Hudson River.
