Skyview Riverdale via Jon Ortner
In the majority of New York real estate, outdoor space is at a premium. Residents count themselves lucky to have a small private balcony, never mind a landscaped garden. However, about 25 minutes from Midtown Manhattan, the three 20-story towers of Skyview Riverdale are home to 1,309 apartments surrounded by 23 acres of outdoor space, which hosts a number of amenities that Manhattanites would have to leave home to enjoy.

Newly renovated apartments feature spacious layouts, wide plank flooring, abundant natural light, and picturesque views. Custom kitchens are outfitted with polished quartz countertops and backsplash, custom Italian cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Well-appointed baths have porcelain tile floors and walls, custom millwork and vanities, Kohler sinks, Delta chrome fixtures, Toto toilets, and mirrored medicine cabinets. Select units have private outdoor space.
Basic cable can be included in maintenance, but residents shouldn’t be sitting inside watching TV: Some of Skyview Riverdale’s biggest draws can be found outside. A 101-foot resort pool, larger than the usual Olympic, is surrounded by a sun deck, kiddie pool, playground, dog park, and full-service café that also offers home delivery. A tennis court, basketball court, playground, and dog park can be found elsewhere on the grounds. Tree-lined paths lead from one building and amenity to another.

In addition to the outdoor offerings, Skyview Riverdale is home to a private health club with state-of-the-art fitness equipment and classes. Twenty-four hour security, concierge services, laundry facilities, dedicated superintendents, bike rooms, reserved parking, and a private shuttle to the Metro North station make life more streamlined and stress-free for residents. Moreover, Skyview Riverdale seeks to cultivate a community rather than a complex with a calendar of residents’ activities including movie nights, farmer’s markets, educational seminars, and kids’ events.
Indeed, Skyview Riverdale is located in a thriving Bronx community. The many offerings of Van Cortlandt Park are a short walk away, as are the public gardens of Wave Hill. The Hudson River is lined with riding stables, hiking trails, and biking trails. The shops and dining of Riverdale Avenue are a short walk away, and the New York Botanical Gardens and Bronx Zoo are a bit further.
Prices start at $180K for studios, $240K for one-bedrooms, $355K for two-bedrooms, and $754K for three-bedrooms. According to CityRealty listings, these prices are a fraction of the medians for their Manhattan co-op counterparts, which range from $485K for studios to $4.65 million for three-bedrooms.
