Building: 201 East 83rd Street

This 18 story Co-op built in 1964, is set in the heart of Yorkville, Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood running from 79th to 96th Street and from the East River to 3rd Avenue. The red brick structure has a one story white brick base and a green canopied entrance with colorful foundation plantings. This Co-op, known as Saxon Towers, has 115 apartments including studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms, with many enjoying open views, windowed kitchens and abundant closets. The congenial full time doormen and the attentive live-in resident manager enjoy well-deserved longevity of employment that speaks to the meticulous running of this comfortable Co-op. Buyers can finance up to 75% of purchase and maintenance is 48% tax deductible. Laundry is in the basement, storage units are available at an additional fee and pets are permitted subject to board approval. This solidly run Co-op permits renting after 2 years but does not allow Pied-a-terres, Co-purchasing or Guarantors.

In recent years, enterprises such as Whole Foods and Best Buy have joined the friendly, well-established groceries, bars and restaurants, making the familiar neighborhood of Yorkville ever more convenient for day-to-day life, and with the new Second Avenue Subway, this lively yet relaxed neighborhood is increasingly sought after for its dynamic, cosmopolitan routine close to shopping, dining, cultural institutions and parks.
