Built in 1929, 110-118 Riverside Drive is a distinguished 16-story prewar cooperative designed by notable architects Gronenberg & Leuchtag, whose portfolio includes several prominent Upper West Side buildings. The Renaissance Revival structure features orange brick construction with elaborate terra cotta window enframements, decorative bandcourses, and a discrete cornice.
The building's most striking interior feature is its Jacobean-style lobby, which showcases wood paneling, a fireplace, and stained glass windows. A canopied entrance with an attractive arched surround and sidewalk landscaping welcomes residents on the side street.
The complex contains 169 apartments, many featuring generous prewar proportions with beamed ceilings and spacious room configurations. Baseball legend Babe Ruth was once a resident of this prestigious address, adding to its historical significance.
Amenities include 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, fitness center, children's playroom, bicycle storage, and private storage units. The building maintains a central laundry facility and allows both cats and dogs.
Situated directly across from Riverside Park, the building offers convenient access to Upper West Side attractions including Zabar's, Barnes & Noble, and excellent retail along Broadway. Transportation options include crosstown bus service and nearby subway lines.
The cooperative maintains specific policies including a prohibition on pied-a-terres and financing limits of 70% for fixed-rate mortgages and 60% for adjustable-rate mortgages. A 2% flip tax applies to purchases.

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.
