The Mayflower is a 21-story, post‑war cooperative completed in 1964 on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The masonry tower contains a mix of one‑ to four‑bedroom residences laid out around a central core; many units feature formal dining areas, dens, galley or eat‑in kitchens with granite counters and plentiful pantry space, multiple closets including walk‑ins, and upgraded bathrooms with double vanities. A number of apartments include terraces or private balconies and some floorplans have been reconfigured to create additional bedrooms or flexible home‑office space. Common areas were recently refreshed and the building offers full‑service staffing with a 24‑hour doorman and live‑in superintendent, luggage carts and a parcel notification system. Shared amenities include a landscaped courtyard and garden, planted roof deck with city views, bicycle storage, an on‑site garage (wait list), and laundry facilities; in‑unit washer/dryers are permitted with board approval. Practical building features include centralized utility purchasing (electric billed through maintenance), recent boiler and A/C upgrades, and a bike room. The co‑op’s policies are buyer‑friendly for many purchasers: pet friendly, allows co‑purchasing, guarantors, 75% financing, sublets and pieds‑a‑terre (subject to approval in some instances). The site sits one block from the Q express and close to multiple subway lines, neighborhood markets, parks including Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade, and extensive retail and dining along Second Avenue.
