Little distinguishes these two brand-new condos. Finishes are both top-shelf, as are the services (concierge, children’s playroom, private theater, swimming pool). In fact, the more affordable of the two even comes with a parking space. So what accounts for the colossal difference in price? Though it’s clearly modeled on Manhattan-style living, the one on the left is in Riverdale, an established neighborhood that often plays also-ran to the Upper West Side. It’s within a few leafy blocks of the No. 1 train—it’s just that the stop, instead of being in the West Nineties, is in the West Two Hundred Thirties.
