Bright and gracious, this large, west-facing, prewar one-bedroom home features beautiful, direct Hudson River views and is superbly located in an excellent full-service building in a very pretty pocket of Washington Heights. This superb location is one of the best kept secrets in the city surrounded by conveniences and abundant green space and recreation. The formal expanse has lovely natural light streaming in from the west framing the River with beautiful sunsets guaranteed. The gracious layout includes an expansive open living room and formal dining room with old world details including hardwood floors, crown and baseboard moldings and cut-out bookshelves. The oversized, quiet bedroom suite feels entirely separate from formal entertaining. Both the windowed kitchen and bathroom are in excellent condition with stainless appliances including a dishwasher and built-in microwave.

This lovely one-bedroom home on Riverside Drive West offers gracious living, beautiful River views, great storage and excellent services and amenities in a superb location with a low monthly maintenance. 159 Riverside Drive West, also known as The River Arts, is a handsome premier, prewar cooperative in Washington Heights with an excellent full-service staff including full-time doormen, handymen, porters and a live-in superintendent. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained and the River Arts was the first in the area to go green with the installation of solar roof panels and composting. Amenities include an indoor garage, 24-hour gym, laundry room, private and bike storage, a community room, shared outdoor space and bulk rate cable and electric. A roof deck is coming soon! Pets are permitted. Washer/dryers are permitted with board approval.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.

Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.

There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
