Manhattan Apartments for Rent near Junior High School 167 Robert F Wagner School

Buttressed between Central Park and the East River is the scenic and affluent Upper East Side, which is populated by more upscale apartment buildings, and trendy bars, shops, and restaurants than even the most vigorous New Yorker could enjoy. One example of the high-end lifestyle that permeates this upper Manhattan neighborhood is 151 East 80th Street, a high-end luxury Manhattan apartment building full of 42 apartments for rent. This building, originally constructed in 1969, was converted into a modern residential location in 2008.

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.

Another fine collaboration between Glenwood Management and architect Costas Kondylis, The Lucerne is among the foremost no-fee rental listings on the Upper East Side. The Lucerne makes a strong first impression, thanks to the tasteful landscaping that frames the limestone-accented entrance, which in turn gives way to an elegant two-story lobby. With spacious rental apartments ranging in size and style: one-bedroom, two-bedroom apartments, sprawling three- and four-bedroom apartment homes and duplexes are available.

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.

This large, red-brick, 35-story apartment tower is in a prime Upper East Side location, adjacent to Grace's Marketplace food store on the avenue and across from the handsome Tower East apartment building whose setbacks provide considerable light and air.

One of the most affluent parts of Manhattan, the Upper East Side is a neighborhood filled with luxurious prewar apartments for rent that cater to a crowd seeking the highest comforts and conveniences. 50 East 78th Street is one of these buildings; originally built in 1936, this 12-story midrise luxury Manhattan rental was recently converted to accommodate modern sensibilities of space and décor. The building houses 41 apartments, and a host of amenities, that make 50 East 78th Street a residential option for any serious New Yorker.
