1120 Fifth Avenue: Review and Ratings
between East 93rd Street & East 94th Street View Full Building Profile
This attractive 15-story apartment house was built as a cooperative in 1924 and the following year its virtual twin was completed directly across 93rd Street, 1115 Fifth Avenue. Both buildings were designed by J. E. R. Carpenter, the leading designer of luxury apartment buildings in New York City in his generation. This building was 44 apartments and 1115 Fifth Avenue has 41 apartments. The main difference between the two is that this one has regular windows on the first floor while the other one has arched windows. The building has attractive sidewalk landscaping and a large lobby that runs parallel to the avenue. The building has a maisonette apartment on the sidestreet. Its Carnegie Hill neighborhood is very convenient to many private schools and museums. This part of Upper Fifth Avenue is very pleasant and quiet, perhaps because most parades stop at 86th Street on the avenue. Many attractive restaurants and boutiques are nearby on Madison Avenue.
