55 E End Ave

A midcentury full-service cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1951 and rising 16 stories with 57 residences that range from studios to three-bedroom layouts. The exterior presents a restrained postwar massing set along the East River Promenade; many corner and river-facing apartments include private balconies or terraces and oversized picture windows that emphasize light and water views. Interiors typically feature entry foyers, separate dining areas or formal dining rooms, galley-style kitchens with pantry or kitchen windows, generous closet and storage provisions, hardwood floors and elevator access. Common areas are oriented toward active urban living and include a staffed 24-hour doorman desk, live-in superintendent, a renovated lobby, landscaped roof deck with panoramic river sightlines, a resident fitness room, central laundry, bike room and on-site garage parking. The building maintains practical services—porter, storage rooms, and recently modernized elevators—while enforcing a smoke-free policy. Pets and pied-à-terre use are permitted; subletting is restricted. Located two blocks from Carl Schurz Park with direct access to the East River Esplanade, the site places residents close to waterfront paths, neighborhood dining, the Second Avenue subway and ferry connections, supporting a leisurely yet well-connected Upper East Side lifestyle.
