Carter’s Review

"This very fine apartment building at 131 Riverside Drive on the northeast corner at 85th Street has a grand and very impressive entrance on Riverside Drive. It is known as the Dorchester.

The 12-story building was erected in 1909 and converted to a co-operative in 1968.  It was designed by Neville and Bagge for A. C. and H. M. Hall."

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.
