Upper East Side Condos for Sale
The Upper East Side is Manhattan’s classic luxury address — Park and Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Hill, the Gold Coast along Central Park, and the quieter prewar streets toward the East River. It is best known for prestigious pre-war co-ops, but a small, highly sought-after set of condominiums — easier for international and pied-à-terre buyers — trade here from roughly $1.5M into the tens of millions for full-floor and penthouse residences.
This page is for buyers who want the UES specifically: families drawn to the schools, parks and museums; pied-à-terre owners who value calm and proximity to Central Park; and international clients who prefer the flexibility of a condo over a co-op board. Rather than a portal dump, we provide a curated shortlist matched to your building, floor and exposure — including quietly marketed inventory.

The Upper East Side, sub-neighborhood by sub-neighborhood
- Carnegie Hill (roughly 86th–98th, Fifth to Lexington) — quiet, low-key, family-favored, anchored by Museum Mile and Central Park; home to the most exclusive new boutique condos.
- Fifth & Park Avenue (the Gold Coast) — the marquee prewar corridors facing Central Park; predominantly co-op, with rare condo opportunities at a premium.
- Lenox Hill — central UES around 60th–77th; a mix of prewar and newer full-service condos with strong walkability.
- Yorkville & East End — toward the river; relative value, newer towers and waterfront-leaning buildings such as 20 East End Avenue.
Signature Upper East Side condo buildings
The UES is co-op heavy, so its condominiums are correspondingly scarce and sought-after. The addresses buyers ask for by name:
- The Bellemont (1165 Madison Avenue) — Carnegie Hill’s most exclusive new condominium: just 12 residences by Naftali Group, architecture by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, interiors by Achille Salvagni. A full sellout; its quadruplex penthouse set a UES price-per-square-foot record above 59th Street.
- 1010 Park Avenue — a boutique 15-story building of just 11 full-floor and duplex residences, designed to sit seamlessly among its landmark prewar neighbors; indoor pool and full amenities.
- 20 East End Avenue — a Robert A.M. Stern limestone-and-brick building offering rare prewar-style condo living near the river, with an East End Avenue address prized for its quiet.
- 200 East 83rd Street — a striking Robert A.M. Stern–designed Yorkville tower with arched upper-floor windows, a 70-foot indoor lap pool, winter garden and five-star service.

Condo vs. co-op on the UES
The Upper East Side is the heart of Manhattan’s co-op market — which is precisely why its condos command a premium. For international buyers, pied-à-terre owners, and anyone who wants flexible financing, easier subletting and a smoother resale, condos are usually the better fit, despite the higher price per foot. We advise on the trade-off and surface the rare condo inventory that matches your brief.

Upper East Side condos — frequently asked questions
How much does an Upper East Side condo cost?
Roughly $1.5M for a well-located one- to two-bedroom condo, $3M–$8M for prime family-sized residences, and into the tens of millions for full-floor and penthouse homes in marquee buildings such as The Bellemont or 1010 Park. We’ll size an exact range to your target building.
Why are condos harder to find on the Upper East Side?
The UES is dominated by pre-war co-ops, so its condominiums are comparatively scarce and trade at a premium. That scarcity is exactly why curated access matters — the right condo often isn’t sitting on a public portal.
Should I buy a condo or a co-op on the UES?
For international buyers, pied-à-terre owners and anyone wanting flexible financing and easier resale, a condo is usually the better fit despite the higher price per foot. Co-ops can offer value and the most prestigious prewar addresses, but with stricter boards and subletting rules.
Can foreign buyers purchase on the Upper East Side?
Yes — particularly condos, which welcome non-U.S. buyers without board hurdles. Purchases can be all-cash or financed (often around 30%–40% down for non-residents). We handle the legal and tax introductions.
Do you have off-market UES inventory?
Yes. Given how scarce UES condos are, much of the best inventory is marketed quietly. Our curated list includes pocket listings, pre-public availability and owner-direct opportunities alongside on-market options.
