Let’s talk about Riverdale. Located in the North Bronx, Riverdale offers all the cuisine and culture of Manhattan against a peaceful backdrop of abundant green space. It’s an especially convenient choice for those who work in Midtown Manhattan, as it’s right off the last stop on the 1 train. Riverdale also made it onto our list of NYC neighborhoods where you can buy a home with a down payment under $100K. Browse the five homes below to get a taste of what life could be like in this beautiful, bucolic locale, or check out more available Riverdale homes on StreetEasy.
We’re starting our Riverdale real estate roundup with this colossal 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo. Oversized western and northern exposures flood natural sunlight into the living room, highlighting the shiny, sustainable bamboo floors. Each of the three windowed bedrooms include massive closet space and both bathrooms include full-sized tubs. Yes, it’s at the very top of our $750,000 budget. But with an included parking spot, community spaces in the building, and in-unit washer/dryer, the price seems well worth it to us.
Calling all first-time buyers! We can’t think of a better starter home than this 1 bedroom apartment priced at $275,000. It’s got a gorgeous galley kitchen with soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an impressive stainless steel appliance package. An extra entry foyer space elongates the flexible living/dining room, allowing the creation of an additional bedroom or dedicated office if desired. Plus, no board approval is necessary to complete the sale, meaning that you’re already one step closer to your new landing pad.
$545,000 gets you 1,500 square-feet of versatile space in this stunning condo. While technically listed as a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, a 4th room used as a home office by the previous occupants can be converted into another bedroom — or whatever else you might need. The newly-renovated kitchen is immaculate, and both bathrooms feature designer fixtures like subway tiling and shower niches. The unit is housed in a luxury building across from the mighty Van Cortlandt Park — one of NYC’s most underrated parks, in our humble opinion.
Meticulously manicured hedges line the walk up to the building that contains our next featured home. This 1 bedroom’s got classic New York City charm for days, with hardwood flooring throughout and retro cabinetry in the kitchen. The HOA fee is conveniently inclusive of all utilities. And at just $170,000, this home is the most affordable on this list. Sweet!
Last but certainly not least is this 1 bedroom condo priced at $379,000. An artful kitchen ensures you’ll be the host with the most: Check out the swirling marble countertops and the luxurious Grohe faucet that offers both still and sparkling water. But the crown jewel of this home is obviously the spacious outdoor terrace with sweeping views of the Hudson River.
