The Details About 1020 Fifth Avenue

With only thirteen apartments in total, this is one of the finest buildings on Fifth Avenue.

Get to know the Upper East Side

An address on the Upper East Side has been a desirable asset for centuries. Names like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Schermerhorn, and Lenox — ones familiar to anyone traveling around the city today — all secured their spot at one time or another. What was once vast farmland became subdivided by NYC’s street grid in the 19th century.
