Claridge House, 201 East 87th Street: Review and Ratings
between Second Avenue & Third Avenue View Full Building Profile
When this 31-story, red-brick rental apartment building was erected in 1978, the stretch of Third Avenue between 86th Street, the "main street" of Yorkville, and 96th Street, was in transition from a low-rise environment with numerous tenements to a lively high-rise enclave.
In recent years, the area has matured into one of the more desirable ones in the city because of its convenient public transportation, excellent neighborhood shopping and proximity to many schools.
This was one of the earlier large buildings along this stretch. It contains 402 apartments and was developed by the Milstein Organization. It is convenient to public transporation, neighborhood shopping and numerous restaurants in the area. A cineplex is across the avenue and the William Doyle auction house is half a block away to the west on 87th Street.
The building has a health club and pool, a sundeck, a concierge, a doorman, video security, valet service, a midblock driveway, a garage and a bicycle room. It has no balconies or terraces and is not close to parks.
