Carter’s Review

"The 20-story apartment building at 1 Morningside Drive is known as Avalon Morningside and it contains 295 rental units, 20 percent of which are “affordable,” which limits tenant income to $23,000 a year.

The slab tower is at the southeast corner of The Cathedral Church of St. John The Divine site on Morningside Heights. "

Broker & Resident Comments

This "modern luxury" high-rise near Morningside Park earns praise for its "prime location" adjacent to "three major parks" and multiple subway lines. The "immaculately maintained" building offers "spacious" units with "high-end appliances" and "breathtaking views" of St. John the Divine. Residents applaud the "super responsive" maintenance team and "friendly" door staff, though service quality can be "inconsistent." "Contemporary amenities" include in-unit washer/dryers and a "basic but convenient" gym. While some grumble about "construction noise" and "basic finishes," most agree it's a "well-run" building with a "warm community feel" that's particularly appealing to "Columbia students and families."
