The Cherokee building is steeped in architectural history. This four building complex was designed by Henry Atterbury Smith in 1912 to intentionally aid in the good health of its residents with floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies, and interior courtyards. Located in the heart of Lenox Hill, the building is steps away from the East River promenade and John Jay Park. Amenities in the neighborhood include local grocers and Whole Foods, Fairway along with a diverse restaurant/bar scene. Convenient access to public transportation (Q & 4,5,6 train) ensures that the rest of Manhattan is just a short ride away.
