Overview of 305 Riverside Drive

The Clearfield at 305 Riverside Drive is a 12 story rental building completed in 1911 and designed by Lawlor & Haase. At the southeast corner of 103rd Street, it faces Riverside Park and contains 60 apartments. Its location and pre war architecture define the building, with a limestone base, arched windows, decorative bandcourses, and a canopied entrance.

The four story limestone base is rusticated on the second and third floors, while the upper façade includes window surrounds, limestone bands, and a limestone top floor. A delicate street fence with finials frames the four step entrance, and fireplaces remain among the apartments' period details.

The building has a full time doorman, a live in superintendent, a laundry room, bike storage, private storage lockers, and a common roof deck. Pets are welcome, and several apartments have in unit washers and dryers. Riverside Park is directly across Riverside Drive, with Broadway's shops and restaurants a few blocks west.

Apartment layouts reflect the building's generous pre war scale, with long entry foyers, high ceilings, formal dining rooms, fireplaces, and substantial closet space recurring among the larger plans. The range extends from one bedroom apartments to expansive corner arrangements with four or five bedrooms; a penthouse has Hudson River views and a private roof deck.
