444 E 86Th St

A full-service cooperative tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1974 and rising 37 stories with 97 residences. The collection includes one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts as well as larger convertible and combined apartments; many homes feature high ceilings, open floorplans, formal dining areas, and windowed kitchens. Units often retain midcentury finishes alongside modern updates: built-in cabinetry, crown moldings, stone or granite counters, pantry space, and generous closet storage including walk-ins. Several apartments offer private balconies and multi-directional exposures with skyline and East River glimpses on higher floors. Common areas and building systems reflect full-service operation — a staffed 24-hour doorman and concierge team, live-in superintendent, central laundry, and a maintained lobby. Resident amenities include an on-site fitness room, bike storage, in-house dry cleaning, additional storage rooms, and a secured garage with valet parking. The property is pet-friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership; board policies allow up to 75% financing and recent approvals for in-unit washer/dryers with board compliance. Located a block from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, the building sits within a dense neighborhood of grocery options, schools, transit connections (including nearby subway and express bus lines), recreational facilities such as Asphalt Green, and an active dining scene.
