Stuy Town: New York's Newest Dorm?

Stuy Town: Dorms Or Apartments?

TWO GIRLS IN skimpy white bikinis soak their feet in the fountain at the center of the Oval. Nearby, a couple of muscular guys casually flex as they toss a football back and forth for the admiring girls. Another young woman leans back against the fountain's edge while her small terrier tries to lick her face.

The green lawn is littered with tanning twentysomethings and their picnic blankets, gossip magazines, iPods and BlackBerrys. It could be a sunny photo of a collegiate quad for an admission's guidebook. But it's not. We're looking at the center of Stuyvesant Town's 61-acre housing complex.
