Top 10 Condo Buildings in Carnegie Hill
Carnegie Hill presents the quintessential Upper East Side lifestyle within steps of Central Park. CityRealty’s pick of Carnegie Hill’s best condos presents everything from pre-war grandeur to top-of-the-line, modern amenities.
#1 - 135 East 79th Street
Designer William Sofield combined pre-war grandeur with subtle modern motifs to produce a masterpiece of architecture and interior design. Floral motifs flanking the arched entryway decorate the brick-and-stone facade. A vaulted lobby, Mediterranean-styled courtyard, large paneled windows, full-service staff, and amenities such as a fitness center and a bicycle room rank 135 East 79th Street as a true standout.
#2 - 180 East 88th Street
The 524-foot skyscraper at 180 East 88th Street features a façade clad in custom Danish Kolumba brick, a vaulted lobby, artistic plaster molding and murals in the common areas, a fitness center with a basketball half-court, full- and half-floor apartments with 14-foot ceilings, and an arched penthouse terrace with views of Central Park, the East River, and the Midtown skyline.
#3 - 1010 Park Avenue
Traditionally-styled 1010 Park Avenue combines the finest facets of pre-war and modern living. The 15-story building looks upon the landmarked Park Avenue Christian Church and holds only 11 apartments, which range in size from full-floor to duplex. Several floors are dedicated to amenities, which include lounges, a billiards room, and indoor pool, and a circus-themed children’s playroom.
#4 - 80th at Madison, 45 East 80th Street
80th at Madison rises a block away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, which comes in splendid view from the upper floors of the 28-story tower. The slender upper section features just one unit per typical floor, with spacious balconies at the topmost stories.
#5 - 1110 Park Avenue
The 16-story condo at 1110 Park Avenue illustrates the rare instance when a 21st century building surpasses its pre-war prototypes. 1110 Park boasts higher ceilings, larger windows, and more extensive stone cladding at the facade than any of its pre-war neighbors, either next door or across the street. The timeless aesthetic makes for a prudent investment that will age like a fine vintage.
#6 - 12 East 88th Street
Architect Rosario Candela’s elegant edifice, built in 1931, received a 21st-century update that added amenities such as a resident lounge, fitness center, and children’s playroom. The building sits down the block from the Guggenheim Museum and Central Park.
#7 - Philip House, 141 East 88th street
Philip House, a Renaissance-styled apartment building designed by noted architects Sugarman & Berger and built in 1926, was extensively renovated in 2013, when it received upgrades such as a fitness center, a children’s playroom, and roof terraces.
#8 - 1289 Lexington Avenue
Floor-to-ceiling windows, adjacency to the 86th Street station of the 4/5/6 trains, and an extensive amenity package with resident lounges, a gym, and a children’s play area distinguish the Hayworth as a prime destination for contemporary Upper East Side living. A spacious roof deck features outdoor dining, grills, and chaise lounge chairs for sunbathing.
#9 - 30 East 85th Street
The prominent, 30-story tower at 30 East 85th Street rises less than a block away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and features sweeping Central Park views from its floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies. Pre-war charm permeates the traditional lobby, while services such as a fitness center, garage, and bike room supply a cushy lifestyle for the residents.
#10 - Carnegie Hill Tower, 40 East 94th Street
The 32-story Carnegie Hill Tower rises prominently above the surrounding neighborhood and boasts panoramic views of Central Park and the skyline. While Central Park sits a block and a half away, residents have immediate access to greenery in the building’s courtyard garden.
