About 401 E 86 Street 12n
Discover Fairmont Manor, a beautifully maintained cooperative situated at the vibrant intersection of 86th Street and 1st Avenue. This postwar gem, constructed in 1964 and transformed into a cooperative in 1980, showcases spacious apartments designed by renowned architect Philip Birnbaum to enhance living areas. With 19 stories and approximately 220 units, the building features an indoor parking garage that offers discounted rates for residents.
Residents benefit from round-the-clock door service, a dedicated maintenance team, and an on-site Resident Manager. The array of amenities includes a fully-equipped fitness center, a lush roof deck with plenty of seating, and a generous laundry room. While in-unit washer/dryer combinations are considered on a case-by-case basis, pets are warmly welcomed here.
Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, Fairmont Manor is surrounded by convenient grocery options, including Fairway and Whole Foods, as well as numerous pharmacies, convenience stores, hair salons, and diverse dining choices. Just a short walk away, Carl Schurz Park and Gracie Mansion—the official residence of the Mayor since 1942—offer a picturesque escape. The park features dog runs, a playground, and The Promenade, perfect for walking, biking, or simply enjoying the stunning views of the East River, Ward's Island, and beyond.
The park, maintained by the New York City Parks Department and the historic Carl Schurz Conservancy, hosts seasonal events like Holiday Carol Sings, an Autumn Art Show, summer concerts, and a beloved Halloween dog parade.
Public transportation is easily accessible, with the 86th Street Crosstown bus stopping right at the building's entrance and additional northbound bus services available on 1st Avenue
