The co-op building is half a block from Riverside Church and Union Theological Seminary, next door to the Manhattan School of Music, and across the street from Columbia's International House and Sakura Park. (Sakura Park owes its name to the more than 2,000 cherry trees delivered to the parks in New York City from Japan in 1912.) Nearby is Teacher's College. A block away are Riverside Park and the Hudson River, with Grant's Tomb and NYC Parks Department tennis courts at 120th Street.

Fairway Market, West Side Market and Whole Foods are within easy walking distance. The M5, M4, M104 and M60 buses and the Broadway #1 subway stops are within 2 blocks.
