Jerry Stiller And Anna Meara's UWS Home Hits The Market

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The Upper West Side apartment that legendary comedy couple Jerry Stiller and Anna Meara called home for over half a century recently hit the market with a $5 million asking price, according to an exclusive from the New York Times.

The 3,700 square-foot-fifth-floor apartment at 118 Riverside Drive boasts five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two kitchens, staff quarters, and a $7,593 monthly maintenance fee, Bruce Ehrmann, a broker at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, told the Times.

The building is just off the corner of West 84th Street.

Meara died in 2015 at the age of 85, followed by Stiller's death in May 2020, who was 92. The couple had been married for 61 years.

The comedic couple bought the Riverside Drive apartment in 1965 and went on to raise their two kids Amy and Ben Stiller on the Upper West Side. Ben attended The Cathedral School of St. John the Divine before graduating from the Calhoun School in the neighborhood.

When Stiller and Meara first moved into the UWS apartment in the sixties, it was a $220 monthly rental, according to the Times.

"I think my dad always wanted to live on Riverside Drive as a kid growing up very poor on the Lower East Side," Ben Stiller told the Times in an email.
