Building: The Carlton East

Located on 57th Street, between Billionaire’s Row and Sutton Place, the Carlton East is a beautiful mid-block, mid-rise building that offers the best of quiet residential living combined with the convenience and excitement of midtown.
Built in 1962, and converted to a co-op building in 1978, Carlton East includes 152 apartments in studio, junior one-bedroom and true one-bedroom layouts situated on 21 floors.
Featuring a lovely blue-brick façade and canopied entrance, the building amenities include full-time doorman service, live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, two elevators, storage cages for a fee, plus free bike room storage. Hallways are newly refurbished, and the building is impeccably kept. Maintenance fees include heat and hot water.

At Carlton East, you are seconds away from all the best New York City has to offer. There’s a large Whole Foods Market directly downstairs, and the world renowned Madison Avenue and 57th Street shopping corridors are minutes away, anchored by New York institutions Tiffany & Company, Bloomingdale’s and Bergdorf Goodman, and soon to welcome the first-ever Manhattan Nordstrom location. New York’s best restaurants, including Le Cirque, 21 Club, The Four Seasons and La Grenouille surround the neighborhood, while Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall provide unlimited entertainment options.
