Overview of The Colorado at 201 East 86th Street

The Colorado is a 35-story apartment tower located at 201 East 86th Street in the Yorkville neighborhood of New York City. It was built in 1987 and contains 256 rental apartments. The building is situated on a prominent corner, offering significant "light-and-air" due to the surrounding low-rise buildings and a nearby set-back apartment tower. The building features a stainless-steel entrance marquee, a doorman, and a roof deck, but lacks sidewalk landscaping, balconies, a garage, and a health club. It is conveniently located near excellent shopping, public transportation, private schools, cultural and religious institutions, and other luxury apartment towers. The Colorado offers a range of amenities, including a 24-hour attended lobby, Colorado Valet Dry Cleaning, a fitness center, a children's playroom, and a residents lounge. The building also boasts a 2,700 square foot furnished roof deck with breathtaking views. It is pet friendly and offers flexible lease terms. The apartments are newly renovated with condominium-quality finishes, featuring wide-planked maple wood flooring, custom wall-to-wall built-in cabinetry, crown molding, window treatments, and USB wall outlets. Kitchens are equipped with lava stone countertops, maple cabinets, and high-end appliances, while bathrooms feature Kohler fixtures, Caesar stone vanity tops, radiant heated floors, and rain showerheads. The location of The Colorado is highly desirable, being steps away from the 86th Street 4, 5, 6 express stop and one block from Whole Foods. Central Park and Museum Mile are only minutes away, providing residents with easy access to some of New York City's most iconic attractions. The building's proximity to numerous good restaurants, food stores, and movie theaters adds to its appeal. Despite the lively location with considerable traffic, the building offers a serene living environment with its well-designed architecture and attractive façade. No celebrities are noted to have lived in The Colorado, and the building's reviews highlight its attractive design and prime location. The south façade of the tower features an indented center section with dark-brown brick, contrasting with the beige-brick façades, making it more visually appealing than some nearby towers. The neighborhood has seen significant upgrades with the opening of new luxury apartment buildings like the Brompton and the Lucida, enhancing the overall appeal of the area.

Broker & Resident Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "well-situated" Upper East Side high-rise offers "spacious" apartments with "modern amenities" including "gorgeous" roof deck with "amazing views" and a "well-equipped gym" complete with Pelotons. The "professional" doormen and staff provide "impeccable service" in this "convenient" location that's "steps from shopping and transit." While some note "construction issues" during renovations, recent updates showcase "modern kitchens" with "stainless steel appliances" and "heated bathroom floors." The building provides "valet service" and a "resident website" that makes living here "effortless," though some suggest management can be "hit or miss."
