The Morningside Heights Housing Corporation is comprised of residential cooperative apartment complexes with nine hundred and eighty apartment units. The name, Morningside Gardens, reflects the Morningside Heights area of Manhattan where it is located, which is also the home of prominent institutions, including Columbia University, Barnard College, Teachers College, Manhattan School of Music, Riverside Church, the Jewish Theological and Union Theological Seminaries. The Complex, which is over nine acres and beautifully landscaped, has Broadway as its border to the west and Amsterdam Avenue to the east. The Morningside Gardens beautifully landscaped 9+ acres of grounds feature flower gardens, ornamental trees, and other abundant greenery. Monarch butterflies and over 80 species of birds have been spotted. The Upper Lawn is open for play and picnics in warm weather and the Lower Lawn offers opportunities for winter fun.

A village in the middle of Manhattan can be described as Morningside Gardens thanks to its community spirit, wonderful amenities, and excellent proximity to transportation in and out of Manhattan. Amenities and facilities include a Fitness Center, Game Room, Woodworking Shop, Art Studio, Children’s Playground and Playroom, Laundry Center, Event Room, Composting, Retirement and Health Services, Craft Workshops, and last but certainly not least The Morningside Players Theatre Group which is a professional, non-profit theatre company.

Local comforts are all one or two blocks away. Most importantly, the same is true of major public transportation in, around, and out of town. Riverside, Sakura, and Hudson River Piers Parks (with bike paths access) are definitely worth exploring. In terms of various cuisines and spirits, whether it’s a top-notch restaurant or a casual meeting house, or cafe, this popular neighborhood has it all covered!
