Urban Edens: 20 NYC condo developments with lush resident gardens; Sales launch at The Morgan from $975K

The Morgan (Williams New York) The Morgan (Williams New York)
As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, New York City's public parks get more crowded between a greater volume of visitors and public events like concerts, movie screenings, and outdoor workout classes. But for some New York City residents, an outdoor oasis is just an elevator ride away.

To meet light and air requirements imposed by the NYC Department of Buildings, it is increasingly common for residential developers to carve out courtyard space in the middle of a site. It is almost never left at that, but rather lushly planted, thoughtfully furnished, and embraced by residents when move-ins begin. The vast majority are accessible from the lobby, though it is not uncommon for buildings to offer access through a fitness center and/or lounge, thus creating indoor/outdoor amenity space.

A recent and notable case in point is The Morgan, a recently launched new development condominium located at 38 East 35th Street, a short distance from Bryant Park in the heart of Murray Hill. However, a landscaped courtyard serves as the heart of the amenity level. The fitness center, coworking lounge, and dining room are all enhanced by beautiful views of the greenery, and a social lounge with billiards table and The Conservatory, a reservable event/party room, both have access to the courtyard for effortless indoor/outdoor gatherings and relaxation.

Prices range from $975K for studios to just under $4 million for a three-bedroom, and completion is estimated for 2027.

23 Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn condo The Windsor (Aguayo & Associates)
In Brooklyn, Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery are two of the borough's most beloved green spaces and regularly attract large crowds. But at The Windsor, a new condominium located almost directly between the two at 23 Ocean Parkway, a landscaped courtyard garden is for residents only. While the condo is topped with a roof terrace with grills and Manhattan skyline views, the courtyard offers the atmosphere of a backyard in a big-city apartment. Sales launched earlier this spring, and current availabilities range from a studio for $575K to a three-bedroom with private balcony for $1.7 million.

VIA 57 West, 625 West 57th Street Courtyard garden at VIA 57 West
Some landscape architects go one step further and draw direct inspiration for their residential courtyards from city parks. At the Hell's Kitchen rental VIA 57 West, Arch Daily notes that the 22,000-square-foot courtyard offers the same proportions as Central Park, but on a dramatically smaller scale. On the sales side, the Secret Garden at 200E20th was inspired by the nearby Gramercy Park and offers a similar atmosphere of quiet contemplation.
