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.

Carnegie Hill is one of Manhattan’s expensive neighborhoods, not to mention one of the most prestigious. It is known for its family-friendly environment which attracts not only the rich but also the famous. Notable residents include husband & wife Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Kevin Kline, Bette Midler and Katie Couric.

The suburban atmosphere of Carnegie Hill is evident everywhere you go. Fine dining, gourmet restaurants, bars, lounges and upscale boutiques are easily accessible. Walk the length of Madison Avenue’s northern strip and you’ll find similar stores residing next to each other including various boutiques that sell clothes for children. Carnegie Hill is also home to several schools including Hunter College High School, a secondary school for intellectually gifted students and a private college-preparatory day school for girls.
