156-08 Riverside Dr W

The John James Condominium is a low-rise, prewar-style residential building on Riverside Drive in upper Manhattan. Completed in 1920 and converted to condominiums in 2015, the property runs six stories with a mix of one- and two-bedroom layouts and some convertible junior four / two-bedroom plans. Typical residences feature hardwood floors, recessed lighting, marble or quartz countertops and modernized kitchens and baths—many listings describe full gut renovations and upgraded electrical. Shared spaces include an entrance foyer, dining-area configurations within units, deeded storage lockers, on-site laundry in the lower level, and building storage facilities. The building operates with an on-site superintendent and offers garage parking available for a monthly fee. Exterior-facing units benefit from Hudson River and Riverside Park views and easy access to nearby greenways, park recreation (tennis, basketball, dog runs), and waterfront promenades. Located near multiple subway lines (1, A, C and other nearby options), buses, Columbia University, City College and NY Presbyterian, the condominium sits within the Audubon Historic District and a neighborhood that has seen recent retail and development activity. Pet policies and concierge services are not highlighted in listings; some units have assessments in place tied to the conversion or recent work.
