A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 320 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.
320 Riverside Drive is a 1928 Beaux-Arts apartment house at the northeast corner of Riverside Drive and West 104th Street, designed by Leo F. Kunst for the A. C. & H. M. Hall Realty Company. It belongs to the wave of substantial pre-war apartment buildings that filled the upper reaches of Riverside Drive in the 1920s, trading the marquee monumentality of the lower Drive for handsome, well-built, park-facing housing on a more human scale.
The architecture is disciplined and legible: a beige-brick facade rising from a granite watertable through a tripartite composition, with limestone and terra-cotta detail, stringcourses marking the upper floors, and a double-height limestone entrance enframement that gives the corner presence without ostentation. The corner siting is the defining asset — apartments on the western flank face Riverside Park and the Hudson beyond, with views that vary by floor and position.
For residents, the building pairs that setting with genuine full service: a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike storage, and common private storage. It is also a notably livable co-op by Manhattan standards — pet-friendly, with dogs considered case by case, and permitting in-unit washer/dryers with board approval. 320 converted to cooperative ownership in 1980, within the broad wave that swept pre-war Manhattan rentals into co-ops through the 1970s and 1980s. For buyers it offers real pre-war architecture, protected park views, and the relative value of upper-Riverside positioning compared with the trophy stretch of the Drive in the 70s and 80s.
Architecture and unit composition
The 123 apartments span the range typical of a substantial 1928 Riverside Drive house — from one- and two-bedrooms to larger classic family layouts and combinations. Pre-war signatures appear throughout: entry foyers, separated living and dining rooms, high ceilings, and hardwood floors, with original detail surviving in varying states depending on prior renovation.
Riverside-facing apartments on the western flank carry direct park-and-river exposures; 104th Street–facing units have cross-street exposures over a residential block, and an interior light-well serves the rear lines. Upper-floor and corner residences, where the park exposure combines with altitude, are the building's most desirable. As with any pre-war building, layouts and ceiling heights vary line to line — worth confirming apartment by apartment.
Building operations
320 Riverside Drive operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, and passenger elevator service, with central laundry, bike storage, and common private storage available to residents. The building permits pets, with dogs considered on a case-by-case basis, and allows in-unit washer/dryers with board approval — two policies that materially widen its appeal. A 1928 structure requires building-wide capital planning, including ongoing facade maintenance under the city's periodic inspection regime. Buyers should review the proprietary lease, house rules, recent financials, debt and any assessments as part of any purchase.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

What to know if you’re buying
The park frontage is the core value driver. Riverside Park forms the western foreground; views depend on floor, position and exposure, and no view is protected without a recorded instrument.
The policies are livable. Pet-friendly with dogs considered case by case, and in-unit washer/dryers permitted with board approval — both meaningful conveniences in a pre-war co-op.
Pre-war architecture and corner presence. The Beaux-Arts facade and double-height entrance give the building lasting curb appeal at the corner of 104th Street.
Budget for pre-war systems. A 1928 building rewards realistic expectations about renovation scope and the board's alteration-review process.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the park. Riverside Park and Hudson views from the lines that have them are the headline; pair them with the 1928 pedigree, the corner siting, and the dog and washer/dryer policies (both permitted with conditions).
Price at the apartment level. Exposure (park vs. side street), floor, line, and condition matter far more than building-wide averages.
Closing timelines are co-op standard — generally 6–10 weeks from signed contract 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.
