The Caravelle, 445 East 86th Street: Review and Ratings
between First Avenue & York Avenue View Full Building Profile
This pleasant, white-brick apartment tower was erected in 1961 and converted to a cooperative in 1982.
The 16-story building, which has a one-story brown-brick base, has 149 apartments.
The building has a very attractive and elegant entrance that has a modern, Oriental-like design with a glass wall on the street and nice sidewalk landscaping. The building has a doorman and a garage and some bay windows.
This neighborhood is popular because of the proximity of Carl Schurz Park to the east and several fine private schools. There is excellent crosstown bus service, but the express subway station at Lexington Avenue is quite far away. Neighborhood shopping and restaurants are convenient.
