Peter Cooper Village…
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006
Metropolitan Life is putting Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village — a stretch of 110 apartment buildings along the East River — on the auction block. Read NY Times Story…
My parents’ best friends have an apartment in Peter Cooper Village. We spent each Christmas eve with them when I was very young and we lived in New York. The “village” area between the apartment buildings was always a very nice, park-like space that was like a mini-Central Park with apartments around it. I have fond memories of those days. My father is gone now as is the wife of the couple who lived there. Our friend who still lives there is long retired and in his 80’s and it would be a shame if this shift in ownership led to him having to leave. We’ll see. Time marches on.
