Overview of 90 Riverside Drive

90 Riverside Drive, erected in 1926 and designed by Schwartz & Gross, is a 16-story pre-war building situated on the northeast corner of 81st Street. The red-brick structure, which was converted to a cooperative in 1968, features 106 apartments across three distinct wings, each served by dedicated passenger and service elevators. The building's classical architecture includes a two-story limestone base, decorative bandcourses, and attractive window surrounds with pediments at the corners.

The building's distinctive façade showcases a canopied entrance adorned with sconces and topped by a decorative balcony with arched windows. Architectural details include quoins, three-story window surrounds on the top floors, and dentil work along the cornice. The structure maintains its pre-war character while accommodating modern conveniences.

Residents benefit from comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman service, a concierge, and a live-in manager. The building features a health club, basketball court, children's playroom, and a landscaped roof terrace. Additional facilities include bicycle storage rooms with an air pump, and dedicated storage bins for residents.

Apartments within 90 Riverside Drive range from classic pre-war layouts to extensively renovated units, many offering views of the Hudson River and Riverside Park. The building's location on the Upper West Side provides immediate access to Riverside Park and proximity to cultural institutions and notable establishments like Zabar's. The co-operative is both pet-friendly and allows pied-à-terre ownership.

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.
