What is Dakota Apartments?
The '''Dakota Apartments''' is a [[Chateauesque]] style cooperative [[apartment building]] in [[Manhattan]], [[New York City]]. The name of the building ''Dakota'' comes from the fact that Manhattan was sparsely populated at the time of the building's construction, just like [[South Dakota]] and [[North Dakota]]. The 10-storey building has 94 units, no two of which are the same. Dakota Apartments is one of the hardest co-op buildings to buy into and the co-op board has rejected the residency applications of celebrities like [[Madonna]] and [[Billy Joel]]. [[John Lennon]] and his wife [[Yoko Ono]] are the most famous residents of the Dakota. [[Category:Buildings and structures in Manhattan]] {{US-stub}}
