The Private Brokerage Advantage
As an independent luxury buyer representative, Régis shares 50% of the buyer-side commission he actually receives on your purchase. Eligible buyers receive that Buyer Commission Share directly at closing to offset closing costs, down payments, or renovations. The figures beside this are illustrative, based on a 3% buyer-broker commission; your share follows the commission offered on the transaction.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.
Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.
Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1015151406. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.

Carnegie Hill
Overview of Carnegie Hill
Carnegie Hill is one of the most prestigious and charming sections of the Upper East Side, spanning from 86th to 96th Streets between Fifth Avenue and Third Avenue. Named after Andrew Carnegie's mansion, it is known for its village-like atmosphere and stunning architecture. For buyers seeking Carnegie Hill Manhattan real estate, it offers a quieter, more family-oriented version of uptown luxury. Living in Carnegie Hill, Manhattan feels like stepping back in time. The neighborhood is preserved by strict historic district zoning, keeping the tree-lined streets sunny and low-rise. As a family-favorite Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it is defined by its proximity to Central Park, elite private schools, and Museum Mile.Real Estate & Housing Market
The market for homes for sale in Carnegie Hill is famous for its large, pre-war cooperative apartments. Buildings along Fifth and Park Avenues are among the most exclusive in the city. However, the side streets offer beautiful brownstones and townhouses that are highly coveted. Inventory here is often geared towards families, with "classic six" and "classic seven" layouts common. It is a stable, high-value market. Co-ops generally have strict board requirements, maintaining the neighborhood's private and settled character.Lifestyle & Community
The lifestyle in Carnegie Hill is refined yet relaxed. It lacks the commercial bustle of the lower 80s or 70s. Instead, residents enjoy boutique shopping on Madison Avenue (like Bonpoint and Jacadi) and brunch at local favorites like Sarabeth's. The community is tight-knit, often centered around the local schools and the park. It is perhaps the most "neighborhoody" part of the Upper East Side. You will see neighbors chatting on corners, nannies in the park, and a generally slower pace of life.Transportation & Accessibility
Carnegie Hill is served by the 4, 5, 6 trains at 86th and 96th Streets, providing distinct express connectivity to Wall Street and Grand Central. The Q train on Second Avenue has also opened up the eastern side of the neighborhood. The M1, M2, M3, and M4 buses on Fifth and Madison Avenues offer scenic north-south travel along the park. While it feels removed from the chaos, the commute to Midtown is efficient.Parks, Schools & Amenities
Central Park is the neighborhood's backyard. Residents have easy access to the Reservoir, the tennis courts, and the Guggenheim Museum. The neighborhood is also home to the 92nd Street Y, a major cultural and community center. Schools are a primary draw. The concentration of top-tier private schools (like Dalton, Spence, and Sacred Heart) is higher here than almost anywhere else. It is an area built for raising families in the city.Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
Carnegie Hill is best for affluent families, lovers of pre-war architecture, and cultural enthusiasts who want to live on Museum Mile. It is ideal for those who prioritize quiet streets, good schools, and proximity to the park.
