    After struggling to sell cooperative apartments at Sunnyside Gardens, the City Housing Corporation made its later apartments simple rentals, which proved popular and paid off right away as a business. Wilson Court, dated 1928, is one of the three rental groups, along with Hamilton and Monroe Courts. Together they hold about 21% of the homes in Sunnyside Gardens, in walk-ups of three, four and sometimes five stories.

    “The apartments at Hamilton Court, Monroe Court and Wilson Court, or approximately 21% of the total residences of Sunnyside Gardens are rental units.”
