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.

The 22-story building has 11 apartments on most of its floors, and most have fireplaces. It has a glass-enclosed rooftop pool and gym, a garage, a 24-hour doorman, sidewalk landscaping and an attractive lobby. The building is pet-friendly and has central air-conditioning. Comfortable apartments have fireplaces, dishwashers and microwaves. Some apartments have balconies.
