Elegant three-bedroom/two-bath duplex home in The Grinnell, “The Dakota of the North” at 800 Riverside Drive. With its spacious rooms and high ceilings, Duplex I is a rare find.
Bright, serene, and lovingly restored, Duplex I is conveniently entered just off the lobby and feels like a private home. On the first floor, there is a gracious entry foyer with a winding staircase, a generous 19’ x 12’ formal dining room with original mahogany paneling and three windows overlooking Riverside Drive. The large, windowed kitchen has a full-sized pantry, slate floor, Viking and Bosch appliances, original glass front oak cabinetry, and a 12’4“x 6’5” butler’s pantry. There is also a bedroom or office and a full bath.
On the second floor, an open 25’ living room and library with French doors and two more bedrooms, all overlook Riverside Drive’s tree-lined expanse. There is also a sitting area and a large full bath.
Original prewar details include almost 10’ ceilings, original oak floors with inlay borders, leaded glass transoms, and mahogany doors. There is abundant storage, including walk-in closets throughout.
The Grinnell, a stately HDFC co-op in upper Manhattan, might just be the city’s best-kept secret. Built in 1911 and designed in the Beaux-arts style by architects Schwartz & Gross, the triangular-shaped Grinnell boasts a porte-cochere entrance and a unique interior courtyard. Initially designed to “meet the requirement of those accustomed to private houses,” the apartments carefully maximize exposure to natural light, with spacious rooms and high ceilings. The building is named after the Grinnell family who once owned the land it now stands on.
One of the crown jewels of the Audubon Park Historic District on Riverside Drive and ideally located near Riverside Park, Riverbank State Park, and Riverside Piers, The Grinnell is pet friendly and offers a live-in super, 18-hour doorman service, a roof terrace with spectacular views, private storage units, gym, bike room, and community room. It is convenient to public transportation with quick access to the Henry Hudson Parkway and George Washington Bridge. Subleasing is permitted for up to 5 years. There is a current monthly capital assessment of $39.96.
Welcome home to The Grinnell.

Washington Heights
Overview of Washington Heights
Washington Heights is a vibrant, hilly neighborhood at the top of Manhattan island. Known for its strong Dominican heritage, pre-war architecture, and stunning river views, it is a neighborhood of energy and community. For buyers seeking Washington Heights Manhattan real estate, it offers some of the most spacious and affordable apartments in the borough.
Living in Washington Heights feels distinct. The geography is dramatic, with high ridges and step streets. As a culturally rich Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it is famous for its music, food, and the sprawling Fort Tryon Park.
Real Estate & Housing Market
The market for homes for sale in Washington Heights is a haven for value. You can find massive Art Deco co-ops with Hudson River views for a fraction of the price of the Upper West Side.
It has become increasingly popular with artists, young families, and professionals who are priced out of downtown but unwilling to leave Manhattan. The "Hudson Heights" enclave within the neighborhood is particularly sought after for its quiet, village-like feel.
Lifestyle & Community
The lifestyle in Washington Heights is loud and joyous. The streets are filled with music and conversation. Broadway is a bustling commercial spine.
Community ties are deep. It is a neighborhood where people sit on stoops and know their local shopkeepers. The Cloisters museum adds a touch of medieval tranquility to the northern tip.
Transportation & Accessibility
Washington Heights is served by the A, C, and 1 trains. The A train express is legendary—it can get you from 168th Street to 59th Street in about 20 minutes.
It is further north, but the trade-off is often more space and better views. Access to the George Washington Bridge makes leaving the city for Jersey or upstate very easy.
Parks, Schools & Amenities
Fort Tryon Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the city, featuring the Heather Garden and sweeping views of the Palisades. Highbridge Park offers trails and the city's oldest standing bridge.
Amenities are local and affordable. While it lacks some big-box retail, it makes up for it with incredible independent grocers and restaurants.
Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
Washington Heights is best for buyers seeking value, space, and community. It is ideal for those who love parks and don't mind a slightly longer commute for a much bigger apartment.
