Overview of 33 Riverside Drive

33 Riverside Drive is a 17-story cooperative building designed in the Art Deco style by George F. Pelham in 1927. This historic building, once home to musical legends George and Ira Gershwin, offers residents a blend of classic prewar charm and modern amenities. Located at the corner of Riverside Drive and 75th Street, it provides direct access to Riverside Park and is close to Lincoln Center and various gourmet supermarkets.

The building features a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and amenities such as a laundry room, bike storage, and private storage. It is pet-friendly and allows pieds-Ă -terre, making it an attractive option for both primary residences and city retreats. The cooperative permits in-unit washer/dryers and considers co-purchasing, gifting, and guarantors on a case-by-case basis.

Apartments in 33 Riverside Drive are known for their spacious layouts, high ceilings, and river views. Notable units include penthouses with expansive terraces and duplex layouts, as well as apartments with features like herringbone floors, custom millwork, and modern kitchens equipped with premium appliances such as Sub-Zero refrigerators and Viking ranges. The building's location within the West End-Collegiate Historic District ensures protected views of the Hudson River.

The building's rich history and prime Upper West Side location make it a desirable address. It has been home to other notable figures such as Sergei Rachmaninoff and journalist Kati Marton, adding to its allure as a residence with a storied past and vibrant present.

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.
