Suggest an UES Rental

is this an ad for the dormandie? although I think that building skews toward the early to mid 20s crowds.

ha no... was thinking a little further down - 60s/70's east of 1st

west of first, i mean

stay away from 185 east 85, landlord sucks. I just got a big Jr4 on 83 & 3rd for 2675 in a co-op

try carnegiehillplace - 1500 or 1501 Lex and 97...smallish apartments but very good service and well taken care of. Younger professional crowd mostly. Plus subway a short block away. While 1st/2nd and 70s sound closer to the action, not so convenient to the subway.

Rose Associates has a building called RiverEast located at 408 East 92nd. More info, photos and floorplans are available at http://rosenyc.com/No-Fee-Rental/RiverEast.aspx

Why are you concerned about a building slanting towards the younger clientle I wonder? I sort of can see why you would want a neighborhood or section of a neighborhood slanted towards your age group but why necessarily the building? Looking for a social scene within? Want to avoid older people/families cramping your style by shushing you if the party gets loud?

Try The Wellesley at 200 East 72nd - it is a Carlyle managed no-fee rental building (http://www.cccnyc.com). They also have other rental buildings in the East 60s.

Another good bet is The Fairfax at 201 East 69th Street. This is a no-fee rental building managed by Rockrose (http://www.rockrose.com/residential).

Whatever you do, don't let a broker show you either building, as they each have on-site rental offices and you will be able to negotiate a better deal if no one has to pay a broker.

People in nyc don't talk to each other so it doesn't matter. Younger people tend to live in the walkups because they are more affordable.

These guys manage some properties on UES. I think they are overpriced, but at least some of them are nice.

Thanks, I was looking at Fairfax website the other day, may have to go over and see for myself. The reason I said younger clientele is only because certain areas of the city could be populated mostly by certain age groups - i.e. Murray Hill and new college grads. That's fine, but I was looking for something in between fratty and uptight, which I guess is why I was looking for a young-ish building in a non-fratty area.

Go to Urban Sherpa's web site.

Ditto... if I didn't see this written already, I would have added it myself. Thats a fairly young building, and good value.

Actually, I'm thinking specifically their 63rd street building, which is even cheaper. The Regency Towers, I think.
