River House, completed in 1931 by the architectural firm Bottomley, Wagner, and White, stands as one of New York City's most prestigious residential buildings. The 26-story landmarked high-rise occupies a distinguished position on East 52nd Street's cul-de-sac, directly facing the East River.
The building's architecture masterfully blends Beaux-Arts and Art Deco styles, showcasing distinctive features such as an eagle-flanked wrought-iron driveway gate and a curved, bell-like pinnacle. These elements contribute to the building's status as an architectural landmark.
The palatial co-op offers residents an array of luxury amenities, including a garden, fitness center, swimming pool, and comprehensive concierge service. The building's units vary in size and configuration, with some spanning entire floors and featuring duplex layouts and fireplaces.
Privacy and security are paramount at River House, with building staff maintaining strict protocols to protect resident confidentiality. Over the decades, the building has been home to numerous luminaries and celebrities, though discretion prevents the disclosure of specific names.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
