Carnegie Hill is an Uptown neighborhood within the Upper East Side, bounded by 86th Street on the south, 110th Street on the north, Lexington Avenue and Fifth Avenue (Central Park) on the east and west respectively.

This quiet, old-world neighborhood is named after the mansion that steel magnate Carnegie Hill built at Fifth Avenue and 91st Street way back in 1901. The former mansion is now the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Even today, there are still quite a number of classic and gracious mansions standing in the area but a lot of these have been converted to schools and large apartments such as the Smithers’ Mansion and the French Lyceum on 95th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenue.

The neighborhood has a diverse blend of architectural landscape built over two centuries of continuous development, including tall residential apartment complexes, luxurious mansions and large townhouses occupied by opulent families. Even a number of large wooden homes still stand in the area.
