A historic building situated between a peaceful park and a major thoroughfare
Located in the Riverside-West End Historic District, the Chatillion sits among the grand apartment houses that emerged along Riverside Park in the early 1900s. Prolific New York City architect Emery Roth — responsible for the design of many of the district’s residential buildings — conceived the white stone-and-brick edifice as a prestigious residence for Manhattan's upper classes. When the seven-story building was completed in 1901, there were just two apartments per floor, along with one-bedroom duplexes on the ground floor and an elegant facade adorned with simple Beaux Art ornamentation. Although the definition of luxury multi-family housing has changed since the building’s construction — what contemporary apartment building can classify itself as “luxury” without at least a pool or gym? — the 106-unit building’s historical significance and its location between the almost-bucolic Riverside Park and the pulsing energy and convenience of Broadway, helps keep its cache intact.
“Riverside Drive has always been its own area,” says Pierre Malterre-West, a Douglas Elliman real estate agent who recently sold a unit in the building. “The energy there is more subdued than the rest of New York…It's a little bit quieter, but you're a block and a half away from Broadway and literally a two-minute walk from the subway.”
The building’s community is also a friendly bunch. Residents love the Chatillion and many of them stay for decades. “There are a lot of original owners from the ’80s,” says Malterre-West whose client rented in the building in the 1970s prior to buying during the co-op conversion in 1983. “There's not a heavy rotation and it's not a place full of investors. It’s really anchored in the idea that co-ops are made for community.”
A quirky footprint and hilly topography yield uniquely designed apartments
By the time of the co-op’s first offering plan, Roth’s sprawling apartments had already been whittled down, creating15 unique units per floor instead of the original two. Despite their size reduction, the high-ceilinged residences are spacious and receive ample natural light. Original kitchens throughout are small; however, larger ones are found in combined units. “The floor plans are not traditional, and each line is a little bit different than the next,” says Malterre-West. With walls that follow the building’s distinctive slants and curves conforming to Riverside Park’s sinuous edges, buyers looking for an alternative to the conventional “white-box” uniformity of contemporary apartments would appreciate the building’s quirky unit shapes. Duplexes also adhere to the building’s irregularity, with the lower level within a basement that peeks slightly above ground due to the hilly topography on this side of Manhattan.
Studios to three-bedroom units are available but one-bedrooms dominate
Most of the apartments in the Chatillion are one-bedroom units, with studios and two-beds next (in almost equal numbers) and just a few three-bedrooms. Every studio is unique and is priced accordingly. In the recent past, studios generally ranged from $399,000 to $430,000. One-bedrooms have sold between $645,000 to $680,000, although the last one-bedroom sold back in 2023 broke the price barrier and went for $789,000. Two-bedrooms, which are mostly combinations, start at $855,000 and go up to $1.45 million. Renting is allowed, but buyers must be residents for at least three years and can then only rent for three years at a time.
No frills but a friendly part-time doorman and a rooftop “make the building a home”
Given that the Chatillion is a classic turn-of-the-20th-century apartment house, don’t expect to find amenities like a pool or sauna or simulated golf range. There is a live-in super, however, and the elevator building provides a laundry room although in-unit laundry is permitted with board approval. The friendly, part-time doorman who’s worked in the building for over a decade is well-loved by residents, prompting Malterre-West to remark, “That’s what makes the building a home, you know what I mean?” Residents also cherish their finished rooftop with its views of the Riverside Park canopy, the boardwalk, the Hudson River and beyond; a recent renovation introduced new tiles and furniture.
Restaurants, health clubs, a waterfront park and even a marina nearby
Residents of the Chatillion live only one and a half blocks from busy Broadway, so accessing everyday conveniences like banks, drugstores and dry cleaners is easy. Local grocery store Westside Market is on 97th and Broadway, and a Key Food Supermarket is on 96th and Amsterdam Avenue. Broadway, of course, has tons of eateries to choose from including beloved local Chinese restaurant Ollie’s on 89th, venerated ol’ school Italian restaurant Carmine’s on 91st, and a Paris Baguette on 97th. A New York Sports Club is nearby on 95th and an Equinox sits on 92nd.
Undoubtedly, one of the advantages of living along Riverside Drive is the fact that the nearly 100-block Riverside Park passes just in front of the building as it snakes its way along the west side. Not only does the waterfront park provide residents with proximity to green views, but there is also a host of outdoor activities all year round. Walking to the Hippo Playground, one of the park’s 14 playgrounds, takes only five minutes. A dog run sits on the park’s 87th Street block, and walking and bike paths wiggle their way throughout the park. Further afield are several ball and tennis courts, and there’s even a marina on 79th Street (under repair until 2028).
Riverside Drive is right outside and several transportation options are easily accessed
When it comes to transportation, residents of the Chatillion sit on easy street, with several options at their disposal. Riverside Drive is literally on the building’s doorstep. For residents with electric vehicles, a Blink charging station is on 96th and West End Avenue and a Tesla station sits on 97th between West End Avenue and Broadway. Drivers get to the Henry Hudson Parkway via 96th Street and the 1, 2, and 3 trains are only a block and a half away at 96th and Broadway. The M96, a crosstown bus, also stops at Broadway and 96th Street.
