The setting
The Royal Buckingham sits atop the Palisades at 900 Palisade Avenue. Its published building guide describes one-, two-, and three-bedroom tower residences, with simplex and duplex penthouses above.
The building pairs established condominium living with staffed services, valet garage parking, and a rooftop Sky Club. Josh's focus is the space and outlook an individual apartment can offer, particularly when a buyer is willing to renovate.
Josh's view of The Royal Buckingham
What you won't find on a listing portal, in Josh's own words.
Who it suits
Ideal for buyers looking for a spacious apartment with beautiful views and a convenient location just outside New York City. It's a great option for those who want the comfort of a larger home while still being close to everything Manhattan has to offer.
Buying here
While the building is older, the apartments have a lot to offer. If you can find a well-located unit and renovate it to your taste, you could end up with a truly beautiful home to enjoy for years to come. Some of the apartments also have spectacular balconies, which are a real bonus and make these residences even more appealing.
The best lines
The higher you go in the building, the more impressive the views become. The corner apartments are especially desirable, offering spacious layouts, plenty of natural light, and a wonderful sense of openness. If you can find one on a high floor, you'll have something truly special.
Mistakes buyers make
There's a lot to be said for buying in an older building. You don't always need something brand-new to find a great apartment. Look for a home with a generous layout, good bones, and plenty of potential. With the right renovations and your own personal touch, you can turn it into something really special and enjoy it for years to come.
What a listing won't tell you
The views of New York City are absolutely breathtaking. Whether you're living in a brand-new development or an older building, the skyline is just as spectacular. Buildings may age and interiors can always be renovated, but incredible views like these are timeless and never go out of style.
Living here
Compare the exposure and balcony of the actual unit, along with the building's renovation requirements, current common charges, and any assessments. Views vary with floor and orientation.
