265 Riverside Dr

A landmarked, pre-war cooperative on Riverside Drive, built in the early 20th century and rising 11 stories with roughly 17 residences. The building’s Beaux‑Arts façade, decorative stonework and ironwork articulate a classical corner presence set back from the street and facing Riverside Park. Interiors reflect traditional pre-war proportions: very high ceilings (commonly 10–12 feet), oversized and often wraparound windows, hardwood plank floors, generous foyers, and layouts that range from one-bedroom homes to larger multi-room apartments. Many residences have been gut‑renovated to include modern kitchens with stone counters and premium appliances, in‑unit washer/dryer hookups, abundant closet storage including walk‑ins, and spa‑inspired baths. Common areas are quietly service-oriented: an elegant marble lobby, dual passenger elevators plus a service elevator, bicycle storage, laundry room, and optional private storage. Staffing includes a live‑in superintendent, porter staff, and a part‑time doorman (typically evenings), supporting a low‑assessment, financially stable cooperative structure. Pet-friendly policies and sponsor-sale opportunities (no board approval on some units) recur in listings. The building’s immediate location on the Upper West Side offers direct frontage or sightlines to Riverside Park and the Hudson River, easy access to multiple subway lines and neighborhood retail, and a residential, park‑adjacent lifestyle.
