Property Description for 159-00 Riverside Drive West, 1J-90

Sponsor Unit – No Board Approval! Spacious & Sun-Filled 1-Bedroom with Modern Renovations and Top-Tier Building Amenities Apartment 1J-90 offers a sense of openness and comfort from the moment you enter. The entryway leads into a sun-filled, expansive living and dining area, thoughtfully designed with charming nooks that add both warmth and character. The living room is impressively large, with space for a sectional sofa you’d typically only find in a suburban home, plus room for a desk or reading corner. The dining area comfortably fits a full-size table without crowding the space, and the renovated kitchen just off the dining area is sleek and modern, featuring stainless steel appliances and ample cabinetry for storage. The king-size bedroom offers peaceful eastern exposure and plenty of room for additional furniture. Storage throughout the apartment is exceptional, with four large closets, including a standout double-door closet in the bedroom. Hardwood floors run throughout the home. The River Arts is a full-service building with top-tier amenities: a 24-hour doorman, elevators, gym, bike storage, storage cages, a newly landscaped outdoor garden with seating, 24/7 laundry, parking garage ($230/month), package room, and a live-in superintendent. The building is also eco-conscious, with solar panels and low monthly utility and maintenance costs. With a liberal sublet policy and pet-friendly rules (one dog per apartment, breed restrictions apply), this unique sponsor unit is an exciting opportunity in a well-established co-op.

Washington Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Washington Heights, a hilly neighborhood on Manhattan’s northern tip known for its affordable apartments, preserved pre-war buildings, and Dominican food. Some would argue that it's a hidden gem and one of Manhattan's last neighborhoods that has retained its culture. The large swath of land is bordered by Inwood to the north along Dyckman Street, by Harlem to the South along 155th Street, by the Harlem River to the east, and the Hudson River to the West. It is the highest natural point on the Island of Manhattan. 

Despite its high residential density, Washington Heights and Inwood have not seen modern housing construction in more than a decade other than relatively small housing units. Midtown Manhattan, Battery Park, TriBeCa, Chelsea, and Hell’s Kitchen, on the other hand, have seen an increase in building. Most of the high rise construction belongs to hospitals such as New York Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center, and educational institutions like Yeshiva University and Boricua College. 

Washington Heights has access to amazing green spaces like The Cloisters, Fort Washington Park, Highbridge Park and Fort Tryon Park. There is no shortage of historical landmarks either. Remember General George Washington set up his camp in Washington Heights during the Revolutionary War. He used the elevated neighborhood to his tactical advantage to spot the Redcoats. As history would have it, his plan didn’t work out so well and the British occupied New York for seven years.
