Overview of Riverwalk Place at 455 Main Street

Riverwalk Place is an 18 story, 230 unit condominium tower located at 455 Main Street on Roosevelt Island, completed in 2004 by Related Companies and designed by SLCE architects. The building features a distinctive 18 sided design with an orange and beige exterior and an angled setback on its east side. While the architecture may be understated, the building's location provides spectacular western views of Manhattan's Upper East Side skyline and the iconic Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, with the colorful Roosevelt Island Tram gliding nearby.

The building offers comprehensive amenities including 24 hour concierge service, a state-of-the-art fitness center, children's playroom, and a rooftop lounge with landscaped sun terrace offering 360 degree panoramic views. Additional conveniences include bicycle storage, live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, and an elegant lobby with fireplace. The property is pet friendly but maintains a no smoking policy.

Apartments range from studios to three bedrooms, with sizes spanning from 737 to 1,395 square feet. Common features across units include floor-to-ceiling windows, wide plank hardwood floors (oak or cherry), granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, marble bathrooms with Kohler fixtures, and in-unit washer/dryer. Many apartments feature open concept layouts with separate dining areas, high ceilings, and abundant closet space. Bridge and river views are particularly notable in many units, especially those facing west toward Manhattan.

The building's Roosevelt Island location offers unique urban convenience with a tranquil setting. Residents enjoy four minute tram rides to Manhattan's Upper East Side, direct F train access, and NYC Ferry service to various city destinations. The island features waterfront parks including Four Freedoms Park and Lighthouse Park, plus on site retail including Starbucks, restaurants, and essential services. Current residents benefit from a tax abatement program with no taxes until 2025, making this an attractive option for those seeking Manhattan proximity with lower carrying costs.
