Stuyvesant Home for Rent

Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, commonly known as StuyTown-PCV, is an 80-acre private riverfront development in East Manhattan, New York. This neighborhood, originally designed as a haven for World War II veterans, features high-rise apartments overlooking the East River and is distinguished by its extensive green spaces, a rarity in New York City. StuyTown apartments were initially built for soldiers, while PCV was designed for military officers, resulting in PCV units having more space, higher ceilings, and roomier kitchens. Both sections offer larger-than-average Manhattan apartments, with select condos available. The community's recreational and green spaces, including Stuyvesant Cove Park, provide a suburban feel with amenities like basketball, volleyball, and pickleball courts, fitness centers, playgrounds, an ice rink, and a roller hockey rink. The StuyTown Community Center hosts events such as game nights, yoga sessions, a book club, and Friday night movies, fostering a family-oriented atmosphere. Dining options along First Avenue include Ess-a-Bagel, Bread Story, Hane Sushi, and Rosemary East, with Five Stuy Café at the heart of StuyTown. Essential services are available along First Avenue, and Trader Joe’s on East 14th Street is the nearest supermarket. Children in the neighborhood attend highly rated schools like PS 40 Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Simon Baruch Middle School 104, and NYC Lab School for Collaborative Studies. StuyTown is accessible via the L train at First Avenue and 14th Street, with convenient bus stations and a short taxi ride via FDR Drive connecting residents to other parts of the city.
