While the Upper East Side Gold Coast and Carnegie Hill remain timeless/frozen in time (depending on one's point of view) owing to the boundaries of various historic districts, a veritable building boom spurred by the Second Avenue subway is taking shape east of Lexington Avenue and attracting buyers. Beckford House and Tower have utterly transformed their stretch of Second Avenue and been home to many top sales and contracts. The majority of units at the Robert A.M. Stern-designed 200 East 83rd Street are in contract. Construction is about to top out at 310 East 86th Street, and the apartments at boutique building 427 East 90th Street are available for immediate occupancy.
Current availabilities start at $985K for one-bedrooms, $1.699 million for two-bedrooms, and $2.999 million for three-bedrooms. One of the building’s three penthouses is in contract; another remains on the market with an asking price of $4.75 million. At an average price of $1,632 per square foot, it is just above the Yorkville average of $1,603 per square foot (per CityRealty data).

427 East 90th Street is up the block from Gracie Mansion, Carl Schurz Park, and Asphalt Green’s Upper East Side campus, and close enough to top schools like Chapin, Brearley, and Trevor Day Schools that students would be able to walk to school. It is located on a peaceful tree-lined street, albeit one in close proximity to the 86th Street 4, 5, 6, and Q trains for easy access to more action-packed parts of New York.
