Overview of 229 East 96th Street

229 East 96th Street is a five story pre-war rental walk up completed in 1920, with 22 apartments on a tree lined block in Yorkville. Its defining character is the contrast between a preserved early twentieth century exterior and apartments that combine exposed brick walls and hardwood floors with more recent renovations.

The apartments are primarily one bedroom layouts. High ceilings and strong natural light recur among the interiors, while renovated units retain the building's older material details rather than replacing them entirely. The building has no listed amenities beyond its walk up access, keeping the focus on its apartments and location.

The address is between Second and Third Avenues, close to the 96th Street Lexington Avenue subway station, served by the 4, 5, and 6 trains. Central Park, New York Medical College, and Metropolitan Hospital are also nearby, along with the shops, restaurants, museums, and recreational facilities along the Upper East Side.

This is a pet friendly rental building with guarantors permitted and one year lease terms. Applications are handled through a rental office at 312 East 82nd Street, with weekday and weekend hours.
