The Netherlands is a 1908–1909 Beaux-Arts building by Neville & Bagge, built by developer Harry Schiff on the south side of West 86th Street between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive — steps from Riverside Park. Its white-brick façade over a limestone base, arched entrance windows, and marble lobby with a fireplace place it firmly in the early-twentieth-century West Side apartment tradition, and it stands today as a contributing building in the Riverside Drive–West End Historic District Extension I.
For buyers, the defining feature is the pairing of prewar West End–corridor character with condominium tenure. The blocks around West End Avenue and Riverside Drive are heavily cooperative, so The Netherlands — a prewar building converted to condominium in 1987 — is a comparatively unusual for-sale option in the area: no board interview, financing flexibility, and openness to pied-à-terre and investment purchase, in a landmarked building a short walk from Riverside Park and the Broadway corridor.
The apartment stock runs from studios through one- and two-bedroom prewar layouts, and the building carries a fuller amenity program than many of its prewar peers — a fitness room and a renovated communal roof deck among them.
Architecture and unit composition
The residences run from studios through one- and two-bedroom prewar layouts; renovation condition varies apartment-to-apartment. Neville & Bagge's Beaux-Arts exterior is preserved under the historic-district designation, and the building's position between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive puts Riverside Park a short walk to the west.
Building operations
The Netherlands operates as a prewar condominium with an attended lobby (staffed approximately 8am to midnight), a live-in superintendent, a fitness room, a renovated communal roof deck, a central laundry, private storage, a bicycle room, and a courtyard. The amenity program is fuller than many prewar peers, though the lobby is attended rather than staffed around the clock; there is no on-site garage.
Common charges and property taxes are typical for a prewar condominium of this scale; buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level.

What to know if you’re buying
Condominium tenure in the West End corridor is uncommon. In an area dominated by co-ops, The Netherlands offers no board interview, financing flexibility, and pied-à-terre and investment openness in a landmarked prewar building.
The amenity program is a differentiator. A fitness room and a renovated communal roof deck are more than many prewar peers offer; note the lobby is attended roughly 8am–midnight rather than 24 hours.
The economics are accessible. A 10% minimum down is favorable relative to peer prewar co-ops; confirm the current terms for your specific line.
It is a landmarked building. Exterior alterations are regulated by the historic-district designation; renovation respects the prewar envelope.
Run the cliff thresholds. Larger apartments transact above the $2M mansion-tax cliff — run any number through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with tenure, architecture, and the amenity set. Condominium mechanics, the Neville & Bagge Beaux-Arts exterior, and the fitness room and roof deck are the core story.
Price at the apartment level. Building averages blend studios through two-bedrooms and a range of exposures; recent comparables on the specific line should anchor positioning.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
