New York Rentals – Upper East Side
No neighborhood is quite as synonymous with luxury living in Manhattan as the Upper East Side. Manhattan's most desirable residential neighborhood for generations, the very words "Upper East Side" conjure an image of pre-war buildings, tree-lined streets and understated elegance. There's a reason for that, of course -- it's easy to find all of those on the Upper East Side -- but there's more to life on the Upper East Side than a sterling reputation.
Apartments on Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue are perhaps the most prestigious pieces of real estate in the nation, but while those blue-chip addresses are dominated by ultra-high-end co-ops, it's still possible to find luxury rentals on Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue, as evidenced by 1085 Park Avenue, an elegant pre-war rental building, and the equally stunning pre-war rental apartments at 1160 Fifth Avenue; the Emery Roth-designed 945 Fifth Avenue is somewhat younger than its pre-war peers (it was built in 1949), but is equally elegant. Solow's One East River Place is a stunningly modern full-service luxury rental tower, and modern rental buildings such as The Lucerne and The Post Toscana meet the neighborhood's high standard for excellence.
And of course what has always been great about the Upper East Side remains great -- beautiful parks along the East River and proximity to Central Park; the world-class cultural attractions of Museum Mile; block after block of luxury shopping and some of the finest restaurants in the city. In this case, the generations of buzz are more than justified, and more than enough to make any New Yorker want to 'move on up' to one of New York City's finest residential neighborhoods.

The Brittany
1775 York Avenue
The Brittany, a striking Upper East Side rental apartment tower, anchors the north end of York Avenue and commands sunset views of Harlem River, the East River, and Long Island Sound. The 36-story tower has a handsome rusticated limestone base that provides protruding supports for the building's columns of energy-efficient bay windows. The Brittany stands out; it's the most attractive of the towers that line the west side of York Avenue above 86th Street. The views are not the only attraction here...
The Lucerne
350 East 79th Street
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.

The Somerset
1365 York Avenue
Since the Somerset was erected in 1977, Yorktown has undergone a transformation. 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.

The Strathmore
400 East 84th Street
There's a high standard for luxury rental apartments on the Upper East Side, which makes sense: it's reasonable to expect a lot from elegant rental homes in Manhattan's most definitively upscale neighborhood. This makes it that much more impressive that the apartments for rent at The Strathmore, on 400 East 84th Street on the Upper East Side, so thoroughly surpass the high standard for UES rentals. The Strathmore's ceilings are higher, the amenities more luxurious, the apartments seemingly more spacious and sun-drenched than even the most discerning of NYC dwellers would expect. In every way, and not just because of its graceful 43-story height, The Strathmore towers above the competition to reign as one of the premier rental listings on the Upper East Side.
