Seward Park is a secluded, established, and managed cooperative community that is settled into Manhattans Lower East Side Historic neighborhood. An important piece of the LES's historic story of community and perseverance. The building is graced with murals by Hungarian born painter Hugo Gellert, who painted murals all over the city in the 1930's. This is a unique focal point of the lobbies and serves as an homage to the Lower East Side and America in the 1930's. Quiet and conveniently situated, The Seward Park Community includes 2 parks with 13 acres of green lawns to relax and enjoy. Seward Park Housing Cooperative apartments are comprised of four 20-story buildings, with three towers in each building. The Cooperative is a liberal corporation where gifting and guarantors are appreciated. The community has been for long one of the best-kept residential secrets in Manhattan. Seward Park, named for the New York statesman famous for orchestrating the purchase of Alaska in 1867, is one of the largest NYC parks on the LES, and has the distinction of being home to the first permanent, municipally-built playground in the nation. Cherished park facilities for use and enjoyment are Basketball Courts, Playgrounds, Spray Showers, Volleyball Courts, and the 2019 large-scale and welcoming redesign and renovation of the southeast courtyard and perimeter which added features such as a storytelling alcove and wildflower garden. Other perks of the resident park community include a large outdoor space on Hester Street available for parties and another playground that includes swings, slides, and monkey bars. Additional amenities include an equipped fitness center, indoor playroom, twenty-four hour attended entry lobbies, on-site maintenance, beautifully landscaped grounds, community garden, vegetable garden, shared work space with two conference rooms, a community room complete with modern kitchen for events, in building and around the clock wifi enabled state-of-the-art laundry facilities, on site management, maintenance, and valet parking.

The popular residential hotspot locale allows for super quick and easy access to major crossroads and key transportation and several Citibike stations are within the coop's blocks.

Most recently the new Essex Crossing with Essex Market and Underground Market Line was developed for the Lower East Sides convenience and exploration with a Target store, the largest Trader Joe's on the East Coast, a 14-screen Regal Cinemas, a bowling alley, and the International Center of Photography outpost. Additionally, the community is in excellent proximity to stepping out and about to surrounding neighborhoods and across Three Bridges.
