Building: Castle Village

Castle Village is the extraordinary five-building complex set on the highest bluff above the Hudson river, nestled on 7 ½ acres of lush, manicured grounds. Designed by architect, George Fred Pelham Jr. in 1939, Castle Village won an award for excellence from the American Institute of Architects as each pre-war apartment has views of the river. With walking paths, several playgrounds, community gardens, lawn chairs and benches, the outdoor amenities offer so many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and spectacular sunsets over the George Washington Bridge. Castle Village’s amenities are unparalleled. They include an indoor Children’s playroom, community room, laundry and roof deck for each building, storage cages, bike storage, exercise room and garage. The staff includes FT doormen, Live-in Super, Management office on premises, porters and handymen. Castle Village is pet friendly and permits 80% financing. 3% flip tax. It is minutes away from gourmet stores, the lovely Cloisters Museum and Fort Tryon Park. This community is an oasis from the noise and bustle of the city, yet only 20 minutes from midtown on the A or 1 subway lines.
