400 Riverside Dr

A six-story prewar cooperative constructed in 1920 and composed of eleven principally one-bedroom residences, this building reads as a small-scale, classically detailed walk-up with strong historic character. The exterior mixes masonry and period ornament; two planted entrances open into an Edwardian-style lobby and a landscaped garden courtyard that buffers the property from Riverside Drive. Typical apartments preserve prewar elements — high ceilings, crown moldings, hardwood oak floors, archways, and original moldings — while many units have been modernized with renovated, windowed kitchens, upgraded bathrooms, and in-unit washer/dryers. Common amenities are intimate and practical: a communal laundry room, bicycle storage, dedicated rentable storage closets, a live-in resident superintendent, video intercom security, and on-site staff-managed operations. The property allows pets and pieds-à-terre, supports flexible financing, and presents low monthlies with sound financials. Situated directly across from Riverside Park in Morningside Heights, the building offers immediate park access, short walks to Columbia University and neighborhood cultural institutions, and nearby subway service, restaurants, and shops that define an Upper West Side lifestyle.
