A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 329 West 77th Street 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.
329 West 77th Street — better known by its Riverside Drive address, 50 Riverside Drive — is a 1930 pre-war cooperative that holds one of the more coveted corner positions on the upper Upper West Side: the seam where West 77th Street meets Riverside Drive and Riverside Park. The building enters from the side street but takes the more prestigious Drive address, a familiar pre-war convention for corner buildings angling for the Riverside premium.
Designed by Gronenberg & Leuchtag and completed in 1930, the building belongs to the final wave of pre-Depression Upper West Side apartment construction. Its facade carries the period's characteristic detailing — a terra-cotta door surround, brick spandrels with decorative stone insets, bracketed stone balconettes at the upper stories, and a dentiled cornice with roundels — a confident, well-detailed piece of 1930 residential design rather than a stripped utility building. Its inclusion in the West End-Collegiate Historic District Extension reflects that architectural quality.
The location is the structural draw. Riverside Drive frontage means Riverside Park and the Hudson at the doorstep, a lower-density residential character than the avenue corridors, and the protected calm of one of Manhattan's distinguished historic districts. The 79th Street and 72nd Street subway stations and Broadway's full retail-and-restaurant life are a few blocks east. For buyers who want pre-war architecture, a Riverside Drive corner, and park-and-river orientation, 50 Riverside Drive is a clear and full-service option.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's roughly 94 apartments span pre-war configurations across 15 stories. The corner siting gives many residences dual exposures, and west-facing apartments on the Riverside flank carry the building's park-and-river orientation; views depend on floor and position. Interiors carry classic pre-war character: herringbone hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, decorative moldings, and large windows that draw strong natural light, particularly on the western lines.
Pre-war signatures recur throughout: generous proportions, entry foyers, and the solid masonry construction of 1930-era Upper West Side apartment houses. Apartment-level variation is meaningful — floor altitude, corner versus interior exposure, layout, and renovation history all matter to value, and lines price on their individual merits.
Building operations
50 Riverside Drive operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, a children's playroom, a bike room, private storage bins, and central laundry. The amenity package and staffing are robust for a corner pre-war Riverside building, including the children's playroom.
The cooperative permits financing of up to 75% with board approval, which is more accommodating than the all-cash and low-leverage posture of the tier-one Park and Fifth Avenue co-ops. The building permits pets and allows pied-à-terre ownership — an unusually flexible combination for a pre-war co-op. Guarantors are not accepted, while gifting of funds is permitted. Buyers should review the current proprietary lease and house rules in the course of a purchase.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

What to know if you’re buying
The Riverside corner is the asset. Park-and-river orientation and a Riverside Drive address carry a durable premium on the Upper West Side; western views depend on each apartment's floor and exposure.
The board's terms are on record. Up to 75% financing, pets allowed, and pied-à-terre ownership permitted; confirm the current financing limit with the managing agent.
The historic-district setting protects the streetscape. The West End-Collegiate Extension governs exterior work and preserves the block's pre-war character.
Inspect the specific apartment. In a 1930 building, condition and layout vary; weigh exposure, light, and renovation history for the unit in question.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the Riverside corner, the pre-war detail, and the board flexibility. The park-and-river orientation, the herringbone-and-beamed-ceiling interiors, and the unusually permissive pet and pied-à-terre policies are the strongest selling points.
Pricing requires apartment-level comparable analysis. Corner versus interior, floor altitude, and renovation quality drive value more than building averages.
Lead with the Riverside Drive setting and the amenities. Describe park access, the apartment layout and the playroom so buyers can assess the property against their needs.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Roughly 6–10 weeks from contract to closing, subject to board-package and interview scheduling.

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.
