Kips Bay

An East Side neighborhood in balance.

Kips Bay brings together residential streets, apartment towers, and the medical institutions along Manhattan’s East Side. Third and Second Avenues provide a familiar network of local shops and restaurants, while the streets toward the river take on a different scale.

The housing collection includes postwar cooperatives, condominium buildings, and older apartments. Rather than a single architectural signature, Kips Bay offers a mix of settings. The relationship between the individual building, nearby avenues, and the waterfront is an important part of understanding an address here.
