233 E 86Th St

The Park East at 233 East 86th Street is a 22-story, 1983 high-rise cond-op with just 26 residences, combining boutique scale with full-service staffing. Architecturally straightforward, the tower offers a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom layouts, several with extended private outdoor space such as elongated balconies and terraces. Interiors frequently feature hardwood floors, pass-through or galley kitchens, high ceilings in select units, abundant closets and provisions for in-unit washers/dryers with board approval. Common interior amenities include designated storage, a central laundry room, a bike room, and a staffed lobby with 24-hour doorman, porter and resident superintendent. Exterior common areas are a selling point: a planted lobby-level garden and courtyard, plus a furnished two-level roof deck with panoramic views and space for private events. The building permits pets, pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, guarantors and up to 80% financing; a liberal sublet policy and a 2% flip tax are part of the governance. Located on the Upper East Side, the property sits steps from Fairway and Whole Foods, multiple subway lines (4/5/6 and Q), short walks to Central Park, Carl Schurz Park and Museum Mile, and is framed by dense retail, dining and cultural options that support both everyday convenience and urban leisure.
