Rivers Bend, a modern high-rise building in a residential Upper East Side area, thrives just a block away from Gracie Mansion. Right on York Avenue, with access to transportation like bus services, the quiet neighborhood is popular with families because of Carl Schurz Park and several excellent private schools.
This handsome white-brick rental apartment building was one of the pioneer projects in the redevelopment of York Avenue. The building's facade is modulated with dark spandrels, several columns of balconies and numerous terraces beneath its decorative, enclosed rooftop watertank.
