875 W 181St St

Built in 1917, this six-story prewar cooperative of 39 units occupies a leafy corner of Hudson Heights near Riverside Drive and West 181st Street. The masonry façade and generous cornices reflect early 20th-century apartment house proportions; many residences preserve original details such as high ceilings, picture and crown moldings, French doors, tall windows and hardwood parquet floors. Units range from one- to three-bedroom layouts, some reconfigured from formal dining-room plans into secondary bedrooms or open great rooms and a handful offer partial Hudson River and George Washington Bridge views. Interiors commonly feature windowed kitchens with granite counters, pantry and breakfast bars, recessed lighting, updated baths and built-in storage; several homes retain classic elements like cast-iron tubs and wide entry foyers. Shared spaces include a landscaped communal garden and courtyard with barbecue capabilities and a gazebo, a central laundry room, building storage and bike storage (both wait-listed), and private storage for select residents. On-site staff consists of a live-in superintendent and full-time porter. The coop is pet-friendly and provides a low-density, residential feel while being a short walk to the A express, 1/9 lines, express buses, Riverside Park and Fort Tryon Park — offering easy access to transit, outdoor recreation, neighborhood shops and restaurants.
