Book Chapter
Rochdale Village and the Rise and Fall of Integrated Housing in New York City
2011
Overview
Rochdale Village was a limited-equity, middle-income cooperative. Its apartments could
not be resold for a profit, and with the average per room charges when opened of $21 a
month, it was on the low end of the middle-income spectrum. It was laid out on a massive
170-acre superblock development, with no through streets, and only winding pedestrian
paths, lined with newly planted trees, crossing a greensward connecting the twenty
massive cruciform apartment buildings. Rochdale was a typical urban postwar housing
development, in outward appearance differing from most others simply in its size. It
was, in a word, wrote the historian Joshua Freeman,
“nondescript.”
