1016 Fifth Avenue is located in one of the most prestigious areas of Manhattan. Directly across from Central Park, this location provides easy access to the park’s many activities and attractions. It is also convenient to many of New York City’s finest museums, including the Guggenheim, the Jewish Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Neue Gallery. It is nearby the 4,5, and 6, trains, which stop at the subway station at the intersection of 86th street and Lexington Avenue. Of course, thanks to the building’s prime location, it is easy to hail a cab. This building is zoned for P.S. Lillie D. Blake elementary school, located minutes away at Park Avenue and 82nd street.

The building is 15 stories and was built in 1926 with 56 apartments. The charming façade and unique construction was designed by architect John B. Peterkin. It is one of the most distinctive buildings in the neighborhood, owing to its unique limestone and beige brickwork and landscaped sidewalks. This building boasts 24-hour doorman and elevator service. Residents enjoy the building’s well-equipped fitness room. The third floor’s eye-catching arched windows overlook the Metropolitan Museum, and residents can enjoy views of Manhattan and Central Park from locations throughout the building.
