The Monterey

The Monterey is a rental apartment tower at 175 East 96th Street in Carnegie Hill, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, managed by the Related Companies. It stands on the block between Lexington and Third Avenues, at the northern end of the Upper East Side where the neighborhood meets East Harlem.

Central Park’s Engineers Gate and reservoir track are a few blocks west, and the Museum Mile institutions along Fifth Avenue begin just south. The 6 train at 96th Street is at the corner, the Q at 96th Street and Second Avenue is two blocks east, and the 4 and 5 express trains stop at 86th Street. Mount Sinai’s campus and Carl Schurz Park are both within walking distance.

Completed in 1992, the 30-story tower holds 522 apartments and is one of six Related Companies buildings in Carnegie Hill in this index. It was built during the late-1980s and early-1990s wave of high-rise rentals along the avenues of the northern Upper East Side.

Related also built The Monterey at Lex a few blocks north in East Harlem, so renters in this area can compare several of the company’s buildings within a short walk.
