The Helmsley Carlton House occupies one of Manhattan's most desirable addresses, with a prime Upper East Side location on Madison Avenue just steps from Central Park and a block from luxury shopping mecca Barney's. Given that stellar location, it's no surprise that the apartments for rent at the Helmsley Carlton House are among the most sought-after rental listings in Manhattan. The one- and two-bedroom apartments for rent at this elegant extended-stay hotel rank among the most luxurious rental apartments on the Upper East Side.

This large rental apartment house, which is directly across 61st Street from the Pierre Hotel, has fabulous views and one of the most prestigious and elegant residential locations in the city. This 33-story, yellow-brick tower was erected in 1978. 800 Fifth's base is faced with limestone and contains commercial space. The tower is setback from the base, which helps preserve vistas of the very handsome towers of the Pierre and Sherry Netherland hotels to the north. Residents have good corner views of Midtown and Central Park.

Situated next to the sculpture garden at the Museum of Modern Art at 15 West 53rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, Museum Tower is a 52-story luxury rental high-rise with a prestigious history. Originally constructed as an extension to the MoMA, Museum Tower was a much anticipated addition to the skyline of Midtown Manhattan. This post-war condo tower was completed in the early 1980s, and it fulfilled the expectations of real estate observers in Manhattan; the apartments for rent in Museum Tower were and still are among the most luxurious in Midtown Manhattan.
