Overview of 299 Riverside Drive

Built in 1911, 299 Riverside Drive is a dapper 12-story, 57-unit cooperative located in the heart of the Upper West Side, just steps away from the 1 subway line. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined brownstone block with an entrance on 102nd Street, the building combines historic elegance with modern convenience—featuring stunning wrought iron double doors, a classic marble lobby, and a common garden with herbs, BBQ, and seating.

Managed by Blue Woods Management Company, residents enjoy amenities like a part-time doorman, live-in super, porter, and a laundry room complete with a cozy library area. Additional perks include bike and basement storage (available for a fee), a block association that hosts annual parties, and easy access to Riverside Park’s playgrounds, dog runs, and bike paths. Experience the best of big city living with a neighborhood feel, just a short walk to the express subway at 96th Street.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
