The Strathmore is a distinguished 12-story cooperative building located at 404 Riverside Drive in Morningside Heights, New York City. Constructed in 1909 by the architectural firm Schwartz & Gross, the building features a striking design characterized by a rusticated limestone base, a dark red-brick shaft, and a three-story limestone and terra-cotta capital topped with an elegant cornice. The building's unique angled corner and large curved marquee enhance its architectural appeal. Notably, The Strathmore has served as a filming location for popular productions such as 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' and Woody Allen's 'Deconstructing Harry.'

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
