1623 3Rd Ave

A 42-story condominium tower completed in 1975 and positioned on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this full-service building contains roughly 70 residences predominantly laid out as one- and three-bedroom plans. The exterior reads as a high-rise slab typical of its era, with multiple high-floor corners delivering extensive city, river and Central Park reservoir views. Inside, apartments commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, renovated kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances, walk-in closets and soaking tubs; many units have been reconfigured to add bedrooms or open plan living/dining/kitchen arrangements. Common areas include a staffed 24-hour doorman lobby and concierge, on-site garage with direct building access, package/mail room, bike room and multiple laundry facilities. Outdoor resources comprise a roof deck, courtyard/garden spaces, two children’s playgrounds and a large terrace with BBQs. Residents also access an on-site fitness club with a swimming pool through a partnership, and the building provides valet, housekeeping/dry-cleaning, storage rooms and private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft. Utilities (heat, A/C, electricity and water) are typically included in monthly common charges. Pet policy is restrictive — cats are permitted in some units but dogs are generally not allowed. The location places the building steps from Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, major supermarkets, schools, and transit hubs (Q, 4/5/6 lines and cross-town buses), supporting an urban lifestyle with family-friendly outdoor options and neighborhood retail and dining.
