The River Arts is a mid-rise, seven-story cooperative constructed in 1941 and oriented to take full advantage of Hudson River and George Washington Bridge vistas. Units are largely two-bedroom conversions from original layouts, often featuring generous ceiling heights, hardwood floors, defined entry foyers and substantial closet storage; many apartments include dens or dining alcoves and windowed eat-in kitchens. Common interior features emphasize period character and practical living: high ceilings, gallery-like corridors, and opportunities for open-plan reconfiguration between kitchens and living areas. Exterior spaces include a landscaped garden and courtyard that provide sheltered outdoor seating and leafy views from lower-floor residences. Building services are full-service and resident-focused: 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, three porters, elevators, staffed maintenance, and an events/party room. Resident conveniences extend to an on-site gym, bike storage, 24/7 laundry room, private storage cages, and an attached indoor garage with low-cost monthly parking. The co-op permits in-unit washer/dryer installation and maintains pet-friendly policies (one dog per unit with breed restrictions) plus a liberal sublet regime. Located in the Audubon Triangle section of Washington Heights, the building sits minutes from the 1 train, the Hudson River Greenway and Fort Washington Park, offering direct access to riverfront recreation, bike paths, and neighborhood dining and markets. Recent sustainability upgrades include rooftop solar and composting initiatives incorporated into the building’s operations.
