Carnegie Hill
Carnegie Hill is located from 86th Street to 110th Street and from Lexington Avenue to Central Park.
Carnegie Hill was named after famous steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie. Today Carnegie Hill is home to magnificent townhouses near Central Park that rarely go on the market - their owners tend to hang on to them. Larger buildings in the area house prewar apartments of six or seven rooms, known as “Classic Sixes” and “Classic Sevens.”
Carnegie Hill feels like a grand village tucked away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Whether you’re walking on Park Avenue, or along a side street with its well-preserved brownstones, you’ll realize that Carnegie Hill is a truly special section of the city. Carnegie Hill boasts Museum Mile, home to ten world class museums including the Guggenheim and The Metropolitan Museum, The Jewish Museum and the 92nd Street Y as well as a few very well-known private schools. The area is mostly residential and borders the east side of Central Park. The 4 and 6 trains are right on the edge of the neighborhood.
Shopping is varied, which makes for gracious uptown living. Madison Avenue offers all kinds of designer fashion, even for babies and toddlers. Many of the local shopkeepers have been around for decades — and residents in the area tend to know each other’s names.
