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. The Lucerne offers a wide array of distinctive living spaces, but a consistent standard of excellence in terms of fixtures and aesthetics.

All rental apartments at The Lucerne feature soaring nine-foot ceilings and are bathed in natural light and blessed with striking river and city views thanks to oversized windows. Lavish fixtures are the rule in the marble baths (master bathrooms boast whirlpool tubs) and elegant kitchens, which feature state-of-the-art appliances, granite counters and ceramic tile floors. Many apartments also offer private balconies. The spacious floor plans make entertaining easy.

Should you wish to take your party upstairs, though, you'll find a gracious rooftop sundeck that's ideally suited for that purpose. The Lucerne's residents' recreation lounge, which has a landscaped terrace of its own and a private kitchen, also can be reserved for larger gatherings. A well-stocked children's playroom is full of fun stuff for kids, while the state-of-the-art 7,000-square-foot private swim and fitness club is equally jammed with fun stuff for grown-ups. The cardio and strength-training equipment in the fitness facility is state-of-the-art, the 55-foot lap pool is among the most impressive private pools in Manhattan, and saunas and changing rooms are available. The luxurious, all-inclusive living experience at The Lucerne extends to include 24-hour video security, an on-premises windowed laundry facility and on-site attended parking lot.

The Lucerne also has a prime Yorkville location, just two blocks from the placid riverside beauty of Carl Schurz Park, good news for those who take advantage of The Lucerne's pet-friendly policies, and a short walk from high-end retail, a dazzling assortment of fine restaurants and popular bars. Museum mile and Central Park, too, are just a short walk away. Crosstown bus service runs up 79th Street, and it's just a short walk to subway service via the 6 train at 77th Street. With the best of one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods in easy reach and a combination of luxurious resident amenities and beautiful apartments for rent, it's little wonder that The Lucerne is one of the premier no-fee rentals on the Upper East Side.
