Overview
Spectacular Corner Fifth Avenue Residence
Perched high above Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this rarely available southwest corner residence at 1030 Fifth Avenue is a true gem. Originally 12 rooms and now thoughtfully reimagined into 9, the home offers a gracious layout, exceptional light, and breathtaking views
A private elevator landing opens into an elegant entry vestibule, leading to a grand gallery that sets the tone for the residence. Straight ahead, three expansive, side-by-side entertaining rooms—the living room, formal dining room, and library—boast oversized windows framing stunning vistas of Central Park’s ever-changing landscape.
Both the living and dining rooms feature wood-burning fireplaces, while the corner library enjoys unobstructed views of the Park and a glorious southern exposure with views of the city skyline and the iconic architecture of the Met.
The private bedroom wing occupies the tranquil southern side of the apartment, enjoying abundant sunlight and privacy, thanks to the low-rise, landmarked mansion across the street. The master suite is generous in scale, offering extensive closet space and a spa-quality en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms each have their own marble en-suite baths.
The kitchen is vast and sunlit, with a welcoming dining area and top-of-the-line appliances. A large pantry and a full laundry room provide added convenience, along with a separate staff room and bath.
This extraordinary residence is in excellent condition and includes a private storage room in the building’s cellar.
Built in 1925 by esteemed architect J.E.R. Carpenter, 1030 Fifth Avenue is a prestigious limestone cooperative with just 16 residences. The building offers exceptional privacy, a newly renovated and architecturally significant lobby, full-time white-glove staff, and a dedicated resident manager.
Financing up to 30% is permitted. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer. This is a co-exclusive with Brown Harris Stevens.

Upper East Side
Overview of Upper East Side
The Upper East Side (UES) is the epitome of classic New York wealth and culture. Stretching from Central Park to the East River, it is home to Museum Mile, Madison Avenue fashion, and some of the most prestigious addresses in the world. For buyers seeking Upper East Side Manhattan real estate, it offers a lifestyle of polished elegance and safety.
Living in the Upper East Side ranges from the ultra-luxury of Fifth Avenue to the bustling, younger energy of Second Avenue. As a premier Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it remains the gold standard for residential stability and top-tier schools.
Real Estate & Housing Market
The market for homes for sale in the Upper East Side is surprisingly diverse. While famous for $20 million townhouses and co-ops, the eastern avenues (Yorkville) offer excellent value for studios and one-bedrooms.
It is valid to say it has two markets: the "Gold Coast" west of Lexington (historic, expensive, co-op heavy) and the area east of Lexington (more condos, more rentals, more affordable).
Lifestyle & Community
The lifestyle on the UES is refined. Residents spend weekends at the Met or the Guggenheim, jogging in Central Park, and dining at established bistros. It is less trendy than downtown but more livable.
The community is generational. You will see grandmothers and toddlers who both grew up in the neighborhood. It feels established, clean, and manicured.
Transportation & Accessibility
The Upper East Side was transformed by the Second Avenue Subway (Q train), which relieved pressure on the 4/5/6 line. Now, the area feels incredibly connected to Midtown and downtown.
The crosstown buses through the park (at 65th, 79th, 86th, 96th) are vital lifelines to the West Side.
Parks, Schools & Amenities
Central Park is the neighborhood's front yard. Carl Schurz Park on the East River is a hidden gem with a dog run and promenade.
Amenities are world-class. The area has the highest concentration of private schools in the city (Dalton, Spence, Chapin) and top hospitals (Lenox Hill, Mt Sinai), making it a magnet for families and professionals.
Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
The Upper East Side is best for families, culture lovers, and anyone who wants a classic, safe, and green New York City experience.
