200 East 87th stands in the heart of one of the City's most convenient Upper East Side neighborhoods, surrounded by parks, museums, shopping, dining, and superb transportation. With 131 thoughtfully planned apartments, ranging from efficient studios to three bedrooms and outstanding penthouses, many with breathtaking terraces, 200 E. 87th suits the requirements of intelligent, discerning New Yorkers looking for comfort, convenience and value. This 23-story, beige-brick building has an attractive entrance, concierge, valet service and a health club with pool. Attractive masonry quoins enliven its facade.
This rather massive, mixed-use building on the southeast corner at Third Avenue also contains a school and considerable retail space. It is very convenient to public transportation and good neighborhood shopping. This area of Yorkville has changed dramatically over the past two decades and now has many high-rise luxury apartment towers. In 2009, two new condo towers opened nearby on 86th Street: the Brompton on the southeast corner at 86th Street, and the Lucida on the southeast corner at Lexington Avenue.
86th Street has excellent crosstown bus service and an express subway station at Lexington Avenue, and Third Avenue to the north has an impressive array of towers on the east side and relatively low structures on the west side that provide substantial light and air to the avenue. A cineplex is across the street in very handsome apartment building and the William Doyle auction house are also nearby on East 87th Street. The Carnegie Hill neighborhood has numerous schools and religious institutions.
