Building: 370 Riverside Drive

370 Riverside Drive stands on a hill overlooking the Hudson River and Riverside Park on the northern corner of 109th Street. This Georgian Revival apartment building was designed by Schwartz & Gross, renowned the Art Deco masterpiece 55 Central Park West, the iconic “Ghost Busters” building. The handsome exterior is of dark brick masonry embellished by a two-story façade adorned with fluted pilasters and windows with arched pediments and terra-cotta surrounds. Notably, the western façade sits at a distinctive angle following the contour of the drive. The lobby features Italianate coffered ceiling and travertine marble.

Built in 1922 and converted in 1972, there are 16 stories and 75 apartments featuring large rooms with high ceilings, plaster walls and elegant oak flooring. This full service Co-operative has 24 hour doorman, resident manager and porters; laundry, storage and bike room are in the basement. The Co-op allows pied-a-terres and Co-purchasing/Guarantors on a case-by-case basis, pets and up to 80% financing. No Flip Tax. Shareholders enjoy a landscaped roof deck with views spanning the Hudson River, Riverside Park and the George Washington Bridge.

This unrivaled address is a runner’s, biker’s and dog walker’s paradise and its proximity to Columbia University’s campus provides access to arts, culture, local shopping and diverse culinary options. Commuting by mass transit is easy: the Broadway metro station is just one block away and there are 3 bus lines at 110th Street including the No. 4 to take you across town to Fifth Avenue and The Met Museum.
