What $1.5 million buys in Carnegie Hill, NYC's most prestigious old money neighborhood

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Monday, May 13, 2024

Arguably New York's most prestigious neighborhood, Carnegie Hill is home to world-class art museums, elite schools, and the finest examples of pre-war apartment buildings and townhouses. The area is named after Andrew Carnegie and his mansion on Fifth Avenue & East 91st Street - now the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.

Carnegie Hill borders Central Park, stretching from East 79th to 98th Street and between Fifth Avenue east to Third Avenue. While real estate is certainly in demand, much of the neighborhood lies within historic districts and local groups and organizations have fought against the construction of large-scale new development to maintain the area's historical character. Transportation options include the 4,5 and 6 subway lines running along Lexington Avenue.

Carnegie Hill currently has 378 units for sale. The median price of condos in the area is $3.7 million and the median price of co-ops is $2.15M. Find below some of our picks of available apartments asking under $1.5 million.
