40 Riverside Drive

40 Riverside Drive Location Map

Overview of 40 Riverside Drive

40 Riverside Drive is a pre war co op on the Upper West Side, converted in 1985 and containing five apartments across five stories. Its most distinctive residence is a penthouse triplex organized over the upper portion of the house, with a 27 foot ceiling, expansive park and Hudson River views, and several private outdoor spaces including terraces and roof decks.

The limestone corner building has a rotunda, oversized windows, original moldings, bay windows, and fireplaces. It is associated with architect Clarence True and the Elizabethan Renaissance Revival style; True is said to have lived in the house, which was also once home to artist Marc Chagall. The formal interiors include a large ballroom, arched windows, winding stairs, and substantial entertaining rooms.

Apartment layouts reflect the building's townhouse scale, with high ceilings, fireplaces, south and west exposures, balconies, terraces, and roof spaces. The upper residence also incorporates a separate ground floor studio with garden access, an unusual arrangement within the co op's compact five unit structure.

Set between West 76th and West 77th Streets, 40 Riverside Drive faces Riverside Park from one of the Drive's prominent corners, with views extending across the park to the Hudson River. Building amenities are limited to an intercom, and the property operates as a pre war walk up.

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.
