Carter’s Review

"This large apartment tower at 170 East 87th Street on the southwest corner at Third Avenue is known as The Gotham and it replaced a movie theater on the site when it was completed in 1992.

It is one of the few buildings on the Upper East Side to offer some duplex apartments with double-height ceilings, a feature very nicely revealed in the façade by the large recessed balconies on both the avenue and the side-street. "

This "impressive" 1993 twin-tower condo complex on the Upper East Side offers "resort-style living" with its "comprehensive" amenity package including a swimming pool, health club, and children's playroom. "Perfectly positioned" between Third and Lexington, the building provides "exceptional convenience" to the 86th Street subway, while the "family-friendly" atmosphere is enhanced by a courtyard and roof deck. The "prime location" offers easy access to "abundant shopping" and transportation, making it a "standout residence" in one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods.
