Setting the “Tower in a Park” housing development standard

Perched high above the Hudson River along Upper Manhattan’s steep bluffs, Castle Village is a housing development that derives its name from the hilltop fortresses of Medieval Europe. Far less feudalistic, however, the prewar rental development was conceived in 1939 by real estate magnate Charles V. Paterno with the aim of fostering a more egalitarian and community-oriented living model. The then- revolutionary use of reinforced concrete in its five buildings — deployed by architect George F. Pelham Jr. — widely influenced the construction of Le Corbusier-style “tower in a park” complexes like the Lower East Side’s Co-Op Village and Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village. Here, the 16-story red brick edifices, now a co-op, are surrounded by a well-kept 7.5-acre park, replete with playground and shareholder-run gardens. “The thing that really sets Castle Village apart are the services and amenities,” says Jennifer Piech Pasbjerg, a Tony Award-winning film producer, broker with Compass and longtime complex resident. “There are full time door attendants, porters, handy people, on site building managers, 360-degree roof decks, community rooms, fitness centers, indoor playscapes and an on-premises garage with enough parking for all residents. It has it all.”

589 units with varying degrees of renovation but solid prewar bones and character

Given the age of the buildings, the state of renovation differs greatly from unit to unit. Owing to the use of reinforced concrete, walls are not load-bearing and have often been moved to accommodate open-concept layouts and the combination of units, of which Castle Village has many. “Every apartment is different because every shareholder has done their own thing,” Piech Pasbjerg says. “Some have been completely gut-renovated and others are in the same condition as they were when the complex was converted into a co-op in 1985.” However, according to her, baseline elements indicative of the quality of building during the prewar period — such as inlaid hardwood floors, tall ceilings, sunken living rooms and ample closet space — remain constants throughout. In-unit electrical systems were also recently updated across the board. The buildings’ cross-shaped floor plates ensure that all units receive ample amounts of natural light and benefit from unobstructed views.

Four penthouse units in each building have their own terraces recessed into the structures’ massing but these outdoor spaces take away from indoor square footage. Some have been enclosed as solariums. Others have been conjoined, like in combined residence unit 131-132 at 120 Cabrini Boulevard. This sprawling 1,950 square foot, split three-bedroom unit also features three exposures and a home office. It sold for just under $2 million. Piech Pasbjerg’s summer 2024 listing, unit 111-112 at 140 Cabrini Boulevard, has a similar layout. There’s no terrace but a larger great room instead. Though prices more closely reflect condition and size than the number of bedrooms, one bedroom units do average $700,000 and two bedrooms at just under $1 million. A handful of four bedrooms top out at $2.7 million. While most one- to-four-bedroom residences benefit from sweeping views of the Hudson River all the way down to Lower Manhattan and up to the Governor Mario Cuomo Bridge in Westchester County — as well as the dramatic cliffs of the Palisades Interstate Park on the other side — studios, priced below $400,000, are relegated to the eastern side of each building. “Given how high Castle Village sits, these units also have spectacular views and large inverted bay windows,” Piech Pasbjerg says.

Shareholder-run gardens and abounding green space nearby

“While professionals tend to the trees, lawns and provide insights on what will grow well here given that we’re right up against the river and can take on strong winds from time to time, the garden committee comprises a lot of retirees and other shareholders that are very involved in the upkeep of both the herb and vegetable gardens,” Piech Pasbjerg explains. “My next-door neighbor, I bow to her, she has an amazing green thumb. Everything she does with annuals and perennials is spectacularly beautiful. You really learn from your neighbors here.”

Culturally diverse Hudson Heights and expansive Fort Tryon Park

Other than the previously mentioned suite of amenities, Castle Village also has bike rooms, perfect for residents making good use of Hudson Heights and Inwood’s plentiful, albeit hilly, green space. Connecting through the Hudson River greenway that runs along the entire western edge of Manhattan, the 67-acre Fort Tryon Park features dramatic ridges, old growth trees and wide pastures. It also plays host to an actual Medieval castle, or abbey really: The Metropolitan Museum’s Cloisters outpost, replete with era-appropriate artifacts and art works. Further north, Inwood Hill Park tops out Manhattan with miles of cycling paths and ample sports fields.

The area has a rich mix of restaurants serving different types of cuisine but with a particular emphasis on Spanish Caribbean food given its colloquial moniker as Little Dominican Republic. Piech Pasbjerg cites locally owned artisan coffee shop Café Buuni as a must. There are large chain grocery stores like Key Food a few blocks away but also smaller specialty markets like Moscow on the Hudson. Commuters can reach Midtown in under half an hour thanks to the express A subway that stops at the 181st Street station right around the corner from Castle Village.
