A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 300 Riverside Drive would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
300 Riverside Drive is a stately 14-story pre-war on the northeast corner of West 102nd Street — one of the dignified brown-brick apartment houses that give the upper reaches of Riverside Drive their settled, residential character. Designed by George F. Pelham, among the most prolific architects of the Upper West Side's pre-war stock, and completed in 1924, the building was converted to a cooperative in 1979 and has operated as a well-held co-op ever since.
What sells the building is the address itself: a direct corner position on Riverside Drive, with the Hudson River and Riverside Park out the front windows. It is typical of the fine pre-war construction of the better Riverside Drive buildings — generous layouts, real proportions, and the open western light that only the Drive's park frontage delivers. For buyers, it offers pre-war scale and river-and-park views at the more attainable pricing of the upper Drive, a quiet, leafy stretch removed from but well connected to the heart of the Upper West Side.
Architecture and unit composition
Pelham's design is a restrained Renaissance Revival composition: a brown-brick body set on a one-story rusticated limestone base, with a handsome two-step-up entrance framed by a cast-iron door, a classical surround, and flanking sconces. A bandcourse runs above the third floor, with ornamental window surrounds on the fourth and a decorative cornice crowning the building; select upper-floor lines carry private balconies that take in the river and park.
The roughly 113 apartments span one- through four-bedroom layouts in the pre-war manner — gracious foyers, separate dining rooms, and in the larger homes, original service wings and staff rooms. River-facing lines look west over Riverside Park and the Hudson; rear and side lines take open city light. Condition varies line to line, with renovated, combined, and more original apartments all trading in the building, so unit-level evaluation is essential.
Building operations
300 Riverside Drive operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with a full-time doorman, elevator service, an on-site superintendent, and central laundry. Confirm occupancy, financial condition and management performance from current records; the service model alone establishes none of those conclusions.
The building is professionally managed, and the cooperative organized as 300 Owners Corp. has overseen the property since the 1979 conversion. Board packages are submitted to the managing agent, and purchases clear a standard co-op approval process with a financial package and interview.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $991/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
The view tier is the value. River-facing lines look directly over Riverside Park and the Hudson — confirm the exact exposure and whether a balcony is included before you commit to a line.
It is pre-war scale at upper-Drive pricing. Generous layouts and real proportions at per-square-foot levels below the lower Drive's trophy blocks.
Buy on light and condition. A corner pre-war varies meaningfully by line; ceiling height, exposure, and renovation level all swing value.
It is a cooperative. Purchases clear a board-approval process with a financial package and interview; we prepare and shepherd that package.
The upper-Drive setting is quiet and green. A leafy, residential stretch on the park, removed from the bustle but a short walk to the West End and Broadway corridors and the 1 train.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the Drive and the river. The corner position, the park-and-Hudson views, and the Pelham pre-war character are the marketing core.
Price by exposure, floor, and condition. River-facing, balconied, and renovated homes carry premiums; the building does not trade as a single number.
The buyer pool prizes space and light. Families and downsizers seeking pre-war proportions and river views at attainable pricing are the natural audience for the upper Drive.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Expect roughly 6–10 weeks from contract through board approval to closing.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
