They all have the same river views. You reeally need to narrow things down a bit - 3 of those buildings are rental (140, 160, 180). 240 is much more traditional (somewhat like a Park Avenue building, but a condo not a coop so not exactly like Park Avenue building, but the feel is more park avenue); 220 is similiar to 240 but not quite as upscale. 200 is 12-13 years old and the interiors are probably dated (white GE appliances instead of stainless steel, for example). 60 is nice but is part rental (including 80/20) and part condo. 80 is high end but mostly 2 bedrooms and above. Those are just a few differences. Unless you rent a place, they are all unfurnished (and even then, most are unfurnished).

If you drive down 9A(The old west side highway) you'll see the highway is closer to the project in the north and farther way in the south, so you'll require a higher floor the further south you go to achieve a clear water view.

Does anybody know how many one bed room units are in the Rushmore?

It's a grim little area altogether, regardless of specific building.

Oreoman - I don't know the exact number of 1 bedrooms in the Rushmore, but the vast majority are two bedrooms and above. I would think that no more than 10-20% are one bedrooms (but that is a guess).

It may not be for everyone, but I think the area is quite nice. It's great having Riverside Park as your front lawn. Yes, you have the highway right there, but where in NYC do you not have a large street (Battery Park).

The Rushmore has 40 one-bedrooms:

5-16D
3-7H
3-16K
3-4N
3-7T
3-4V
3-4W

plus a couple of one-and-home-office.

Thank you for the info, downtown1234 and NWT.

NWT - It seems you are familiar with the building. So, which line is relatively better overall among D,H,K,N,T,V,and W?

I know it only on paper, so don't go by me. IIRC they all face north, east, or onto the courtyard, so no big differences.

dt1234 is spot on. I looked at all the bldgs you listed and bought in 240, furnishings and service level are 5 star. We couldn't be happier. Only thing most of the one bedrooms face the interior courtyard and do not have direct river views

alanhart- dt1234 did not ask for an opinion about the area which obviously thousands of people like

They "like" it only because there's a housing shortage and people need to be warehoused somewhere, even if in railyards.

Riverside Park starts at 72nd Street. I would argue that it isn't the front lawn of the RSB buildings. I dunno what they call those windswept, fenced off patches of green. Bike path is there, and the pier is nice.
