Top 10 Condos in Yorkville, Upper East Side
Yorkville, a vibrant Upper East Side neighborhood that spans from 79th to 97th Streets, delights with its urban variety. Towering skyscrapers stand next to pre-war townhouses; boutique shops sit around the corner from laid-back bodegas; and Second Avenue, more vibrant than ever thanks to the new subway, makes way for the quiet blocks at East End Avenue by the East River and Carl Schurz Park. CityRealty reviews the best condo buildings in a neighborhood that offers the quintessential New York lifestyle.
#1 - 20 East End Avenue
Robert A. M. Stern, New York’s leading classicist architect, combines traditional style with modern amenities on the quaint East End Avenue near the East River. The stone-clad facade, dome-vaulted lobby, Belgian block-paved porte cochere with a water feature, in-unit fireplaces, and upper floor terraces match the neighborhood’s finest pre-war apartment buildings. Amenities include a fitness center, event room, children’s playroom, bike storage, and more.
#2 - 40 East End Avenue
40 East End Avenue supplies dignified luxury with its tradition-minded design. Upper floors recede in stepped terraces to a landscaped roof deck. Floor-to-ceiling windows, elegantly styled in vertical frames and transoms, look out to the East River. A private porte cochere allows for discrete arrival. The spectacular penthouse sports a double-height foyer with a bronze-trimmed staircase and a massive chandelier.
#3 - The Kent, 200 East 95th Street
The Kent’s brick facade rises to a finial-lined rooftop that evokes classic Gotham. Classicism, Art Deco, and modernism merge in the ornamented lobby, 55-foot indoor pool, and lounge. A children’s playroom, music practice room, and film screening room provide entertainment for all ages. Large mullioned windows let in ample sunlight and showcase grand views. Stone finishes feature generously throughout kitchens and bathrooms.
#4 - 170 East End Avenue
170 East End Avenue faces the Carl Schurz Park and greets residents with a sunlit lobby that opens onto a spacious rear garden. Broad, floor-to-ceiling windows face Gracie Mansion, the Mayor’s residence. The East River stretches beyond, where the RFK Triboro and Hell’s Gate bridges leap across the water. Some of the generously-sized units come with fireplaces, duplex layouts, and apartment-sized balconies that are perfect for lively parties.
#5 - The Brompton, 205 East 85th Street
Architect Robert A. M. Stern crafted the 20-story Brompton in the fashion of luxuriant pre-war apartment buildings, a gesture that is evident in the brick facade, delicate stone trim, large mullioned windows, and a wood-paneled foyer that looks upon a colonnaded, Renaissance-styled courtyard. By contrast, modern condo offerings manifest in an amenity package that includes a fitness center, children’s playroom, event space, and a roof deck.
#6 - The Richmond, 201 East 80th Street
The Richmond is ideally positioned at the center of the Upper East Side, near the convergence of Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, and Yorkville. The 24-story condo boasts equally-convenient access to Third Avenue dining, Madison Avenue shopping, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the East River waterfront. An 18th-story, 4,000-square-foot roof deck is perfect for sunbathing. Central Park comes into view from the large windows at the upper stories.
#7 - Citizen360, 360 East 89th Street
Citizen360, a 34-story tower at First Avenue and 89th Street, dedicates an entire floor for amenities that include a spacious lounge, large common dining room, multi-room entertainment suite, a sunlit playroom and art studio, a screening room, and a multimedia lounge. Another level contains a fitness center, yoga and dance studios, and a sauna. The staggered windows on the facade respond to interior needs that vary depending on floor and unit layout.
#8 - Cielo, 450 East 83rd Street
The 27-story Cielo offers perks such as a children's playroom, health club, laundry, resident storage, and a rooftop deck. On the upper floors, floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the East River. The Carl Shulrz Park sits a block away.
#9 - Georgica, 305 East 85th Street
When Georgica rose at Second Avenue and East 89th Street in 2009, the developer purchased surrounding air rights to secure unobstructed views from the floor-to-ceiling windows in all directions. The L-shaped building’s narrow wings and bay windows provide ample sunlight for every apartment. A spacious roof garden invites sunbathers into a garden setting. Services such as a fitness center, children’s playroom and bike room ensure full resident comfort.
#10 - Carnegie Park Condominium, 200 East 94th Street
As its name suggests, the 30-story Carnegie Park straddles the border between the neighborhoods of Yorkville and Carnegie Hill and offers equally-convenient access to both Central Park and the East River waterfront, as well as one-block access to the 96th Street stations of both the Second Avenue and Lexington Avenue subways, serviced by the 4, 5, 6, and Q trains. A distinctive curved corner provides unique unit layouts and ample views. A garden-facing indoor pool and a spacious roof deck are the highlights among the building’s many amenities.
