Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews of 230 Riverside Drive commend its elegant prewar charm, excellent location near Riverside Park, and attentive, friendly staff including doormen and superintendents. The building offers desirable amenities like a gym, laundry, and bike room with no extra fees. Residents appreciate quiet surroundings and considerate neighbors. However, the building’s age brings issues such as occasional noisy pipes, some traffic noise near the parkway exit, and sporadic pest control challenges. While many praise owner responsiveness and cleanliness, a few point to management concerns and inconsistent maintenance. Overall, it remains appealing for those valuing character, convenience, and a well-run operation.
