As fall settles in, the city and its trees are beginning its seasonal transformation. On Monday, September 22, 2025, the autumnal equinox marked the official start of the season. Days are growing shorter, temperatures are gradually cooling, and the unmistakable signs of fall: seasonal treats, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin-spiced everything can be seen across the city.
While New York City’s peak fall foliage isn't expected until mid-November, signs of the change are already appearing, with some trees beginning to show a flash of color. For those who can’t make the trip to upstate New York or New England to experience the full autumnal glory, fear not, New York City is home to over 7 million trees, many of which will soon burst into vivid shades of orange, red, and gold in the coming few weeks.
In this article:
Central Park, with its 828 acres of stunning greenery, offers some of the best strolls to witness the transformation. Residents along the park's perimeter have a front-row seat to this breathtaking view. Below, we've featured a few dozen of the most impressive recently listed apartments perfectly positioned to offer views of Central Park’s fall foliage.
Despite spanning 50 blocks in length and three avenues wide, and being bordered by over 300 residential buildings, apartments with direct Central Park views rarely come to market. A park view is among the most prized in all of New York and much of the adjacent real estate lies within historic districts, which preserve the architectural character and limit the redevelopment of many prewar buildings facing the park. New construction is therefore rare, with most new developments capturing park views concentrated along the park’s southern edge, near Billionaires’ Row in Midtown.
One rare new addition whose construction is nearly topped out is taking shape further north in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood of the Upper East Side. At 1122 Madison Avenue, Legion Investment Group and Nahla Capital are developing a 22-story ultra-luxury condominium tower at the southwest corner of Madison Avenue and East 84th Street.
Designed by Studio Sofield, the building reinterprets classic prewar architecture through a limestone façade, sculpted reliefs, and custom decorative railings. Inside are just 26 three- to six-bedroom residences, many with private terraces or balconies with park views. The site is only a half-block from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pre-sales are underway and completion is expected in 2027. Contact CityRealty for more information.
