Riverdale Commons

Riverdale Commons is a low-rise, three-story cooperative complex constructed in 1958 and composed of 11 one-bedroom–type residences arranged across multiple small buildings. The architecture favors midcentury garden-style planning: brick façades, regular window bays and ground-level entries that open to landscaped lawns and tree-lined views. Units commonly retain original interior details alongside period-updated kitchens and baths; many apartments advertise eat-in kitchens, hardwood floors, multiple closets and windowed bathrooms. Private outdoor space is a recurring feature — corner units and several apartments include balconies or small terraces, while the property offers a shared roof deck with open views. Common elements include an on-site laundry room, a modest lobby with part-time attendant in some listings, private storage and bicycle storage. Heating is oil-fired and basic utilities such as heat, hot water and cooking gas are frequently included in maintenance. Parking is primarily street parking with internal waitlists for any limited on-site spaces. The complex sits across from Van Cortlandt Park in North Riverdale, with immediate access to local and express buses and a short walk to the #1 subway; nearby arteries include the Henry Hudson Parkway and major Parkways for Westchester or Manhattan commuting. Pet policies vary by listing but several units note restrictions.
