The Upper East Side building at 201 East 69th Street may have been built as the headquarters for the FBI in 1900, but its reincarnation as The Fairfax, a 315-unit, no-fee rental building, is no secret.
In a prime neighborhood of several luxury apartment towers, it stands out for its combination of sophistication and comfort. It is well situated among a variety of museums, boutique shops, and restaurants - and coming next year, the Upper East Side's first Target outpost will open in the building's retail base. Owned and managed by TF Cornerstone, current listings show studios from $3,150/month, 1 bedrooms from $3,950/month and 2 bedrooms from $5,250/month. The property has frequent open houses and there is a $1,000 security deposit requirement for qualified renters.

The units in this 16-story building range from studios to three-bedrooms and feature large closets, 9-foot beamed ceilings, sound-resistant windows, and the private balconies add an extra element of luxury. Sleek kitchens have stainless steel appliances and there are newly renovated bathrooms.
The building sits at the intersection of Third Avenue and East 69th Street with Central Park a mere four-block-walk away. Hunter College is within the neighborhood, and a number of the city's best museums are within walking distance including the Frick Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Transit is nearby too, including the 6 train at Lexington Ave and 68th Street, the Q on Second Avenue at 72nd Street, and multiple Citi Bike stations.
The building's collection of amenities begin with a 24-hour attended lobby with concierge, a fitness center, onsite laundry, parking, and a children's playroom and outdoor play area. The building's landscaped roof deck is a lush and vibrant escape from city offering places for alfresco dining, a morning yoga session, or to take a brief moment to enjoy the surrounding cityscape.
