1049 Fifth Avenue, #17B (Serhant LLC)
For many years, the Upper East Side was considered the center of New York society. Expansive cooperatives on Park and Fifth Avenues were instrumental in New York's shift from single-family home to apartment living, and close proximity to Central Park, museums, and prestigious schools made it appealing to families with children. However, while the Upper East Side remains in demand, it is no longer the ultimate destination for New York's wealthiest. Hip downtown neighborhoods have risen in prominence and popularity; the amenity race has led to more bells and whistles in a building than merely a prestigious address; and condo boards have proven themselves to be more accommodating than certain co-op boards.
From December 13-19, 2023, only 91 sales listings throughout New York experienced price reductions, a full chart of which may be seen below. (It may also be viewed in a separate window here). A selection of notable listings, a number of which are located on the Upper East Side, may be seen below. Please be advised that all quoted figures reflect cumulative price cuts as opposed to the most recent reductions.
