The Galaxy is a well-established, full-service co-op on a tree-lined, picturesque block. Its fabulous Upper West Side location is by so many of the restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, and major transportation that have made this neighborhood so special and desirable. Pets are permitted, as are co-purchases and pieds- -terre on a case-by-case basis.
