Most have a street level entrance, as opposed to the earlier high stoop—an innovation at the time. True is credited with introducing luxury living accommodations to the far West Side along Riverside Drive and the tree-lined side streets in the 70's and 80's. Many True houses are still standing and continue to offer comfortable and charming living spaces.
