1270 5Th Ave

1270 Fifth Avenue is a 14-story, postwar cooperative completed in 1959 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The limestone-faced building presents a restrained mid-century apartment-house façade and contains primarily two- and three-bedroom residences arranged around central corridors and elevator banks. Interiors typically feature high ceilings, formal entrance foyers, generous living/dining rooms with large windows and abundant closet storage; many apartments include eat-in kitchens, renovated baths, and custom built-ins installed by owners. Common areas are full-service: a 24-hour attended lobby, live-in superintendent, porter staff, and a planned lobby and hallway modernization program. Building amenities include a central laundry room, bicycle room, tenant storage and a residents-only garage (waitlist), plus on-site parking and building storage when available. The co-op’s policies are flexible for a prewar-style building of its scale: pets are allowed, pied-à-terre ownership and gifting are permitted, subletting is allowed after a holding period, and financing up to typical industry limits is accepted. Maintenance fees frequently cover utilities such as gas and electricity. Located directly across from Central Park’s Harlem Meer and close to Museum Mile, the block offers immediate park access, nearby cultural institutions, and multiple subway and bus lines for transit.
