With seven residences 432 East 85th St. is a small, close-knit building. Nestled on a very quiet street it's in a charming part of Yorkville, close to Carl Schurz Park, which has an English-style garden, a playground, and great views of the East River. A little further south on York Avenue is John Jay Park, with more playgrounds and even an outdoor pool! Up the street is the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other great museums that are along New York's Museum Mile. Also up the block is the great restaurant scene on Second Avenue, with new eateries as well as some traditional New York treasures. And there's great access to public transportation: the Second Avenue subway is 5 minutes away, and another 5 minutes will put you at an Express stop on the 4, 5 and 6 trains. Cats are OK, but sorry, no dogs.
