314 Riverside Drive is a 1930 Art Deco cooperative on one of Manhattan's most coveted residential edges: the Riverside Drive park-front, where the buildings face Riverside Park, the Hudson, and the long unobstructed western light that no inland Manhattan corridor can match. Designed by Boak & Paris — the firm whose name is on many of the Drive's and West End Avenue's best late pre-war apartment houses — it rises 19 stories at the southeast corner of West 104th Street, on the footprint of a row of 1890s town houses that were assembled and replaced at the close of the great Riverside Drive building era.
The Riverside Drive setting is the defining value driver. Unlike the avenue grid, the Drive curves along the bluff above Riverside Park, so its buildings command protected views west over parkland and water — views with unusual permanence because the park itself guarantees the sightline. For buyers, a park-front Drive address delivers light, air, and outlook that are structurally scarce in Manhattan.
At roughly 93 apartments across 19 stories, converted to cooperative ownership in 1984, 314 Riverside is a mid-to-large pre-war co-op — large enough to support a full-service operation and a steady transaction cadence, while retaining the residential community character of the Drive's established buildings.
Architecture and unit composition
The exterior is pure Boak & Paris Art Deco: a limestone base, decorative balconies, curved masonry spandrels articulating the window bays, and a sculpted rooftop water-tower enclosure that gives the building a recognizable crown on the Drive's skyline. Inside, the 1930 vintage means solid masonry construction, generous room proportions, and a massing oriented to capture the park-and-river exposure on the western flank.
Across roughly 93 apartments — running from one- to three-bedroom layouts — the most desirable residences are the park-facing apartments, where the Riverside Park and Hudson outlook commands a clear premium, and the upper floors, where the views open fully above the treeline. Original detail, where preserved, supports value; renovation quality and the sensitivity of any alterations to the pre-war envelope are key apartment-level variables. Exact configurations vary by line and floor and should be reviewed individually.
Building operations
314 Riverside Drive operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, a wrap-around roof deck with open Hudson and city views, bike storage, common storage, and a central laundry. The building permits washer/dryers in individual apartments. It is pet-friendly, and pied-à-terre ownership is permitted. The co-op allows subletting, which gives owners flexibility unusual among park-front Drive buildings, and minimum down payment is 30% — a buyer should plan to finance no more than 70% of the purchase price. A transfer fee (flip tax) applies on sale. The board posture otherwise follows established Riverside Drive cooperative norms: primary-residence orientation, a thorough board package, and demonstrated financial strength.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01890-0073) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
Exposure is everything here. Park-facing apartments with Riverside Park and Hudson views carry the building's strongest pricing and the most durable resale story; weigh exposure heavily.
The rules are unusually flexible. Pets, pied-à-terres, in-unit washer/dryers, and subletting are all permitted — a notable combination among park-front pre-war co-ops; plan financing to the 30%-minimum-down threshold.
The 1930 Art Deco vintage is structural. Boak & Paris proportions and the building's distinctive crown are genuine differentiators; pre-war systems should be reviewed for condition.
Budget the transfer fee. A flip tax applies on resale; factor it into your hold-period math.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the park-front position and the Boak & Paris pedigree. The Riverside Park and Hudson exposure and the building's Art Deco authorship are the single most marketable features; park-facing apartments should be merchandised around the view and light.
The flexible policy set widens the buyer pool. Sublet permission, pet-friendliness, and in-unit laundry expand demand relative to stricter Drive co-ops — call it out in marketing.
Pricing requires apartment-level comparable work. Exposure, floor altitude, and renovation history move value materially across the building's 93 apartments.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Plan for roughly 6–10 weeks from contract to closing.
