159-00 Riverside Dr W

The River Arts is a seven‑story, mid‑20th century cooperative complex built in 1941 that primarily offers one‑ and two‑bedroom residences with generous layouts. Architecturally it reads as a traditional Riverside Drive apartment block with oversized windows, high ceilings (commonly near 9–10 feet), and a landscaped back glen and garden courtyard that open onto planted common grounds. Interior features across units include formal entry foyers, dining areas or dens, hardwood floors, plentiful closet storage and periodic renovations that leave kitchens and baths updated in a range of styles. Building services and common spaces are substantial for the scale: a full‑time doorman and attended lobby, resident superintendent and porters, elevators, a fitness room (fee), a residents’ events/party room, bicycle storage, 24/7 laundry facilities and rentable storage cages. On‑site indoor garage parking is available for a monthly fee. The property has adopted sustainability measures such as solar panels and composting. Pet policy allows one dog per shareholder apartment with breed restrictions; in‑unit washers/dryers are permitted. Located on Riverside Drive in the Audubon Triangle of Washington Heights, the building provides immediate access to the Hudson River Greenway, Fort Washington Park, nearby transit (1 train, A/C options), and neighborhood cafes, markets and casual dining, supporting an active outdoors‑oriented urban lifestyle.
