301 E 79th St

Continental Towers is a 36-story condominium built in 1974 on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The property primarily offers one- and two-bedroom layouts arranged in a high-rise slab with many corner and high-floor exposures. Apartment interiors commonly include traditional finishes such as crown moldings and hardwood floors alongside practical features like eat-in or open kitchens, in-unit washer/dryer allowance, abundant closet and storage space, and flexible den/home-office areas. Large windows and private balconies are frequent, providing extended city and river views. Shared spaces emphasize everyday convenience: a staffed 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in superintendent, renovated hallways, a fitness room, lobby-level central laundry, private storage and bike storage, and an on-site parking garage. Outdoor amenities include a landscaped roof deck and a courtyard, plus private outdoor spaces on select units. The building is pet friendly and permits pied-a-terres; monthly common charges are consistently noted as low due to strong financials. Located at the corner of East 79th Street and Second Avenue, the condominium sits within walking distance of multiple subway lines, bus routes, museums, parks (Central Park, Carl Schurz, John Jay), and dense retail and dining options characteristic of the Upper East Side.
