Fabulous Hudson river views, Fort Tryon Park, the Cloisters, the A train (20 minutes to Columbus circle), NYC's oldest Co-op's: Hudson View Gardens, Castle Village, and the more modest Bennett (sp?)) Avenue with large apartments, many for rent. Look up the area's history. We recently closed on a modest, tiny apartment with a view that takes my breath away, every time I walk in. Now I have to learn to share one bathroom with a view....Geroge Washington Bridge, Palisades, up the river (north west). I'm told that on a clear day we will be able to see the Tappan Zee, Bridge, eighteen miles away. I will miss 57th Street the weekend boats, the walk to Lincoln center, but not the rent!

But I didn't! It has great transportation, trees, grass, river walks and great food. You might want to check out Hoboken. This "mile square city" is a foodie haven and also has miles of river walkways and piers. I lived there for many years and loved it. Hoboken is expensive and you have little chance of a garden, but there are abundant rooftops. The skyline and the ferry rides are fun and refreshing. The sun used to set flaming orange on the World Trade Center windows, and it was a magnificent site! Mozzarella is made many times a day by women wearing black widow weeds. You can be in Manhattan in 8 minutes by ferry or train and 20 min. by bus. I know that you would at least enjoy a day trip in Hoboken, where the train station (historical marvel) has a famer's market. You might also check out Weehawken, which has a ferry, and some grass, and a magnificent view. Or even leafy Rutherford, NJ, a charming town with a 15 minute train ride to City, as well as a bus.Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-82602675225460828092013-07-25T15:07:39.533-04:002013-07-25T15:07:39.533-04:00You are so talented and resourceful.

I have to have big windows that let in lots of light and screen doors (so that I can keep the heavy wood doors standing open for most of the year). For many years I knew that I wanted those things, but I didn't really understand how much difference they make for me. <br />So, I hope you do get to keep -- or find -- sunlight and a horizon. It's important.dianefaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229979968118248563noreply@blogger.com
