Bright Prewar 1BR on Iconic Riverside Drive — Available Now
Welcome home to this sun-drenched one-bedroom condo on one of Upper Manhattan's most beloved streets. Renting directly from the owner, this is a rare opportunity to skip the runaround and deal straight with the people who know and love this home. Perched on the 5th floor of a classic 1907 prewar building, this thoughtfully renovated apartment delivers the character and light you've been searching for — at a price that's increasingly rare in Manhattan.
South-facing windows flood the apartment with natural light throughout the day, complementing soaring prewar ceilings and a freshly painted interior that feels move-in ready from day one. The newly renovated kitchen is clean and modern, and the updated bathroom has been completely redone. Both the layout and finishes strike that sweet spot between classic New York charm and contemporary livability.
The building itself is a gem: 64-unit boutique condo with a responsive on-site super, brand new elevator, and in-building laundry. Bike storage and additional storage in the building (subject to availability) for those who want to make this home base for everything.
Step outside and you're steps from Riverbank State Park — one of the city's most underrated green spaces, with athletic facilities, a waterfront promenade, and river breezes year-round. St. Nicholas Park is equally close for a dog walk or morning run. Transit is effortless: the 1 train at 145th Street is just two blocks away, with the A/C/B/D all within easy reach.
Hamilton Heights is having a moment — and the secret is getting out. Rich in prewar architecture, anchored by City College, and home to some of the most vibrant dining and culture in Upper Manhattan, this neighborhood offers authentic New York living at a fraction of the downtown price.
Direct owner rental — no pets. Condo building; board approval required. Available immediately.
