Carter Horsley's Review

"This impressive, 13-story building at 790 Riverside Drive at 157th Street in Washington Heights was erected in 1910 by the Rivera Realty Corporation of which Max Ash was the president and is known as The Riviera.

It has 199 cooperative apartments and was designed by Rouse & Gladstone in the Beaux-Arts style. It stands in the heart of the landmarked Audubon Park Historic District. This premier building, which is also known as 629-641 West 156th Street and 618-630 West 157th Street, overlooks the Hudson River. Residents of this doorman building enjoy storage, bike room, resident superintendent, and central laundry. Pets are welcome." Read Carter's Full Review

Broker & Buyer Comments

""The Riveria" has F/T doorman, live-in super (Jose), elevators, laundry, spacious lobby. Flexible, very involved in major Local Law 11 repairs, approx. $3MM over next year. Audubon Terrace section of Washington Heights, very accessible to #1, West Side Hwy (158 St.)and B`Way buses. I live across the street at 800 RSD for past 5 years. Only 2 other coops in this area, Grinnell (mine) and River Arts. (Note: your db has the location as Harlem)"

"FUll Service. Doorman. Incredible lobby, inlaid ceilings, marble floors and stairs, beautiful elevators, exterior and interior halls going through an extensive renovation. The Riviera. Easy board, 20% down, just have to show you can afford the apartments. A short walk to Riverside Park; 13 sort blocks to COlumbia Presbyterian Hospital; 1 block to 1 train; 5-10 minute walk to C Train. 1 Block to Broadway. This area is up and coming---that equals a great place to live and a great place to invest!"

"Doorman building, Ornate Lobby, Laundry, Pet Friendly, great architecture. Very Flexible. Will accept Parents buying for children and allows subletting. Up and coming. Very mixed. Subways are near. Right near the Henry Hudson."
