Located at the eastern edge of Parkchester, a mid-twentieth-century planned community in the Bronx, comprised of 171 “towers in the park,” Parkchester Gardens is a new development that offers 220 affordable apartments for seniors, 30% of which are dedicated to formerly homeless seniors, embodying a commitment to community and well-being.
On the ground floor, Parkchester Gardens incorporates social services and welfare accessory amenity spaces including a social services and counseling suite with six private offices and a conference room, available to all tenants.
As part of the project’s active design initiative, the development features tiered outdoor terraces to encourage simultaneous physical activities, such as Tai Chi, outdoor cooking, and gardening.
Common amenities include a large community multi-purpose room with space for low-impact physical activities, a lounge and community pantry, and a gathering, living-room-like area—all of which can be combined into a single space for large, building-wide events, or partitioned for various, smaller simultaneous activities and programs. A fitness room offers exercise and weight training equipment, and a computer room affords technical training classes. Additional amenities include laundry rooms on every floor and bike storage in the cellar.
