Gracie Gardens is a prewar cooperative complex on the Upper East Side built in 1941 and composed of low-rise, six-story buildings arranged around a landscaped central courtyard and private gardens. Architecturally it reflects classic prewar details: high ceilings, mouldings, hardwood strip floors, generous entry foyers and arched transitions between rooms. Units range from studios and two-bedroom layouts to larger multi-room apartments and duplexes; many homes feature windowed kitchens and baths, built-ins, walk-in closets and abundant windows with river, park or garden views. The co-op operates with full-time doormen, a resident superintendent, elevator access to upper floors, a bike room, laundry facilities and private storage. Exterior common areas emphasize planted gardens, child play areas and quiet courtyard space that buffer street noise and provide outdoor respite. The building allows pets and pieds-a-terre with board approval and supports a mix of long-term residents and renters under certain unit conditions; some apartments may be subject to rent-stabilized occupants. Situated across from Asphalt Green and a short walk to Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade, the property benefits from nearby transit (buses, the Q/6 lines and the East 90th Street ferry) and neighborhood retail, making it a full-service, garden-forward co-op in a residential stretch of Yorkville.
