...laundry. In keeping with the original vision of a classless, integrated, ecumenical community, the four apartment buildings now standing range from federally assisted low-income housing (at $421 for a four-bedroom apartment), to middle-and higher middle-income accommodations (from a $297 studio to an $887 three-bedroom duplex) to co-ops that are comparably priced with East Side Manhattan apartments...

The apartment will be as secure as Fort Knox, look superciliously down upon neighboring St. Patrick's Cathedral, and allow its tenants, on a clear day, to see, if not forever, at least to New Jersey. They will be among the first residents of Olympic Tower, a complex of 230 condominiums, 19 floors of offices, exercise...
