Modern Additions to the Upper West Side


Facade of One Riverside Park

The Upper West Side is typically known for its classic brownstone townhouses that line the streets and are only a short walk away from Central Park. While most of those still stand, over the years the neighborhood has gotten a large amount of modern apartment buildings that give the area a beautiful mix of old and new. Here are three of the hottest and newest additions to the UWS.

Just blocks from the iconic Lincoln Center at 50 Riverside Boulevard is One Riverside Park, a 35-story tower that holds 219 rental units, each with views of the Hudson River through floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for natural light.
