Overview of Yorkshire Towers at 305 East 86th Street
Yorkshire Towers is a 21 story, 693 apartment rental built in 1964 in Yorkville. The large white brick building occupies a full block along Second Avenue and is approached by a landscaped driveway beneath a curved marquee lined with blue mosaics.
Apartments are generally spacious, with large windows, hardwood floors and substantial closet space. Many residences have private terraces or balconies, while renovated layouts often pair open kitchens or kitchen islands with broad living areas.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, attended lobby and live-in superintendent. Its amenities include an indoor pool, fitness center, resident lounge, courtyard, children’s playroom, laundry facilities, valet services and a full service garage with on-site parking.
The 86th Street Q station on Second Avenue is directly outside, while the 4, 5 and 6 trains stop at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue two blocks west. Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion and the East 90th Street ferry landing are east of the building, and the surrounding 86th Street corridor has supermarkets, restaurants and a movie theater.
