## Property Overview

Some apartments reward the buyer who knows how to look at them. Residence 9C at 725 Riverside Drive is one of them.

This 1,174-square-foot condominium has been thoughtfully renovated with a clear point of view — the kind of renovation that reflects an owner who lived here and cared about how it felt, not a flip executed for the market. The finishes, the fixtures, and the attention to detail tell that story without needing a before photo.

The kitchen sets the tone. Smart GE stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, custom cabinetry, a five-burner gas range with convection oven, and an integrated two-seat breakfast nook that manages to feel generous rather than compressed. An in-unit full-size washer and dryer is tucked in cleanly. Nothing in this kitchen feels like an afterthought.

Both bathrooms are windowed and marble-finished — a detail that matters more than it sounds in a pre-war building. The primary bath features a rainfall shower. The second offers a classic cast-iron soaking tub. Together they bring a quiet, boutique-hotel sensibility to the everyday — the kind of finish level you don't often find at this price point, in this neighborhood or anywhere near it.

The layout rewards a buyer who thinks about how they actually live. Northwestern and western exposures deliver Hudson River and George Washington Bridge views, and the flexible floor plan puts those views where they belong — in the rooms you inhabit during waking hours, not just when you sleep. Five outfitted floor-to-ceiling closets, dark engineered bamboo flooring, and oversized windows complete a home that is at once practical and genuinely pleasurable to be in.

725 Riverside Drive — the Imperator, built in 1912 — is a 74-unit, 11-story Riverside Drive address that has always understood its location. Directly across the street, Riverside Park and the Hudson waterfront become part of your daily rhythm. The 1, A, B, C, and D trains are all within reach. The West Side Highway is within close proximity.

The building is investor and pet-friendly, with elevator service, a live-in superintendent, part-time security staff seven days a week, video surveillance, and bike and storage rental available. A parking garage sits two blocks away.

Riverside Drive at this price point, renovated to this standard, with these views — it doesn't come around often. The buyers who recognize it first will be the ones who were already paying attention.

| Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source |

Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable condo two-bedroom sales in Hamilton Heights is $802,500, based on 14 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $899,000, $96,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $717,500 and $981,468.

- **Median closed price**: $802,500
- **Middle half**: $717,500 – $981,468
- **Based on**: 14 condo two-bedroom sales in Hamilton Heights
- **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $744/ft²

Across the 14 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.5% of what it originally asked. 64% of them closed below the original ask.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Hamilton Heights instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 97.5% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 64% of 14 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 129 days (about 18 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 64 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 14 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.5% of what it originally asked. 64% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 129 days (about 18 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 14 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 64 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 14 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 14 condo two-bedroom sales in Hamilton Heights, September 2024 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot for sales at 725 Riverside Drive, 2017 to 2024. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year.

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $715/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2018 | $780/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2019 | $792/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2021 | $738/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2024 | $748/ft² | 3 (thin) |

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1020961056. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
