Overview
Make this enchanting, turn-of-the-century (the previous one) sanctuary your new home -- a spacious, serene, charming, and one-bedroom oasis on quiet "Little" Riverside Drive, in the heart of historic Morningside Heights. With glorious Riverside Park as your backyard and shopping, restaurants, transportation, and Columbia University conveniently located minutes away on Broadway, you won't have far to go for any daily necessities, provisions, or cultural entertainments. Enter through the building's secure gates, surrounded by a garden that is planted in three seasons -- with roses in the summer -- and garden courtyard. Walk through the Edwardian-era lobby, to reach Apartment K on a semi-private landing on the lobby level of the limestone and red brick, pre-war Fowler Court, built in 1909 by the renowned architect, George Pelham. The recently freshly painted home's windows face south onto 112th Street with an oblique views of "Little" Riverside Drive. Every room has a quiet, street-facing window, through which streams natural light, illuminating the old world character of the apartment's good bones and pre-war details, which can be further restored and have been enhanced with modern amenities. Apartment K features high ceilings, plentiful closets, and hardwood floors throughout. The bedroom has a large closet and a bifold, frosted glass door. The renovated kitchen has ample, lovely quartz counter space and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. A working electric fireplace with a flame effect graces the living room for cozy winter nights and a dining area makes entertaining a pleasure. The windowed bathroom has a separate sink area and a soaking tub and shower. A handy, dedicated storage closet can be rented for a small, extra monthly charge. Move in as is or reimagine it and make it your own. The coop building allows pets, pieds-a-terre, parents buying with children, and guarantors, and has a video intercom and is maintained by a staff that includes a live-in super.

Morningside Heights
Overview of Morningside Heights
Morningside Heights is often called the "Academic Acropolis" of New York City. Perched on a high ridge north of the Upper West Side, it is dominated by Columbia University, Barnard College, and the massive Cathedral of St. John the Divine. For buyers seeking Morningside Heights Manhattan real estate, the appeal is intellectual, historic, and architecturally consistent.
Living in Morningside Heights, Manhattan feels like living in a college town embedded in a metropolis. The streets are filled with students and professors. As a unique Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it offers a distinct sense of separation from the rest of the city due to its elevation and institutional focus.
Real Estate & Housing Market
The market for homes for sale in Morningside Heights is extremely tight. Much of the housing stock is owned by the university for faculty housing. However, the private market features stunning pre-war co-ops with spacious layouts perfect for families and academics.
Prices are generally comparable to the Upper West Side but offer more space. It is a stable market, insulated by the constant demand from the educational institutions that anchor the community.
Lifestyle & Community
The lifestyle in Morningside Heights is cerebral and relaxed. Coffee shops are filled with laptops and debates. The dining scene is affordable and casual, catering to students with everything from bagel shops to noodle bars.
It is a quiet neighborhood, especially in the summer. The community is transient due to the student population but anchored by long-term faculty residents who create a stable, intellectual core.
Transportation & Accessibility
Morningside Heights is served by the 1 train along Broadway at 110th, 116th, and 125th Streets. While it's a local train, the commute to Midtown is reliable and straightforward.
The M4 and M104 buses are popular scenic routes. The neighborhood is very walkable, with most daily needs available within a few blocks on Broadway or Amsterdam Avenue.
Parks, Schools & Amenities
The neighborhood is bookended by two parks: Morningside Park to the east (with its dramatic cliffside views) and Riverside Park to the west. The university campuses themselves act as green quadrangles.
Amenities are heavily student-focused, meaning excellent bookstores (Book Culture), affordable gyms, and copy shops. It lacks major luxury retail but makes up for it with cultural richness.
Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
Morningside Heights is best for academics, students, and families who prioritize education and pre-war charm. It is for those who want a quiet, leafy "campus" feel within the city.
