Riverdale Real Estate
Above the Hudson, in the Bronx
Homes in Riverdale changed hands at a median of
$360,000
across 457 recorded sales in the rolling 12 months ended June 30, 2026.
- Condominium
- $655,00027 recorded sales, 5.9% of the total
- Co-operative
- $312,500363 recorded sales, 79.4% of the total
- One-Family House
- $1,325,00067 recorded sales, 14.7% of the total · $560 per sq ft
- Recorded sales, not listings. A deed reaches the public roll weeks to months after the parties agree: this file ended June 30, 2026 and was read on August 17, 2026. It is not a reading of the market this week.
- A co-operative transfer conveys shares in a corporation, not real property, so it is not a deed and reaches this file only through the transfer-tax filing. DOF’s coverage of co-ops is correspondingly inconsistent: the consideration is not always stated, and the square footage never is. 74 of the 437 co-op rows filed here (16.9%) carry no usable price and are absent from this sample. Co-ops are most of the recorded activity in this neighbourhood, so that gap moves the pooled figure above, not just the co-op line.
- No neighbourhood-wide price per square foot is published. DOF records gross square footage as zero for condominium and co-operative units, so only 67 of 457 sales here carry a usable figure — houses, in a market measured in apartments. A per-foot median drawn from them would describe 14.7% of the sales and read as though it described all of them.
- Conveyances at or under $10,000 are excluded as non-market: deeds into a trust or between relatives, corrections, and $0 transfers. 125 rows were dropped on that basis.
- Deeds conveying more than one home are excluded — a bulk or sponsor sale is one transaction, not one home’s price. None were found in this window.
- No active-listing count and no days on market. Both describe live inventory, which exists only in an MLS; neither can be derived from recorded sales, so both render as an em dash rather than as a figure we inferred.
- Drawn from ZIP 10463, 10471, then narrowed to the sales DOF itself labels RIVERDALE and FIELDSTON. A ZIP is a mail route, not a neighbourhood. A further 108 recorded sales in those ZIPs carry another label — 88 in KINGSBRIDGE/JEROME PARK, 15 in KINGSBRIDGE HTS/UNIV HTS, 5 in VAN CORTLANDT PARK — and are not counted here.
- Only the ownership forms above are counted. 38 other recorded sales in this area are out of scope — chiefly 8 tax class 1 vacant land, 8 condo parking, 6 two-family houses, 4 three-family houses.

About Riverdale
Riverdale occupies the northwest corner of the Bronx and looks less like the rest of New York City than anywhere else inside the line: schist breaking through the surface, mature oak and beech, roads cut to the contour rather than to a grid, and the land falling away west toward the Hudson and the Palisades beyond it. Fieldston sits inside it as a private community of about a quarter of a square mile whose residents own the streets, with North Riverdale above and Spuyten Duyvil below. Three of the city’s leading independent schools stand within a mile of one another here, which explains a good deal about how the houses trade. The larger part of recorded activity, though, is co-operative apartments along the ridge.

Getting to Riverdale
- Subway
- The 1 terminates at Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street on the eastern side of the neighbourhood, and express buses run down the Henry Hudson Parkway into Midtown. Neither is quick. People who make the trip daily use the Hudson Line.
- Metro-North
- The Hudson Line stops at Riverdale and again at Spuyten Duyvil, and Grand Central runs about twenty-five to thirty minutes from either — the ride follows the river the whole way. Both platforms sit at the foot of the hill, which matters more than it sounds: from Fieldston or North Riverdale the walk home is a climb, and most households drive to the station.
- By Car
- The Henry Hudson Parkway runs along the western edge and the Major Deegan along the eastern; Midtown is around half an hour outside peak and Westchester is minutes. Riverdale is one of the few New York City addresses where a garage and a driveway are ordinary rather than remarkable.
