Manhattan Apartments for Rent near Founders Hall, The Rockeffeller University

215 East 68th Street, a stately white-brick, 32-story apartment tower, was designed by Emery Roth & Sons and has 608 luxury rental apartments. The building has extensive and impressive landscaping with glorious trees. It has an epic-sized windowed lobby and a small circular fountain beside its marquee entrance, which has a large driveway. The building faces a very attractive row of townhouses and is to the east of the plaza of Trump Palace on Third Avenue.

This attractive Upper East Side brown-brick was erected to warehouse silver, later housing the FBI's New York offices until converting to rental apartments in 1980. The large, 16-story Fairfax has a three-story limestone base and occupies an entire blockfront on Third Avenue.

This neighborhood has undergone dramatic change for the better since the Somerset was erected in 1977. At that time, this was a fairly desolate stretch of York Avenue. Over the next few years, many major luxury apartment towers such as the River Terrace, One East River Place, and the Belaire sprouted in the immediate vicinity. In late 1998, Sotheby's began a major expansion on its site. This building, which occupies the entire avenue blockfront between 72nd and 73rd Streets, has attractions of its own including superb views, a driveway, lushly landscaped entrance and many balconies.
