About Carnegie Hill

Carnegie Hill is a historic neighborhood on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, roughly spanning from East 86th to East 98th Streets, between Fifth and just west of Third Avenue. The area takes its name from Andrew Carnegie, whose mansion—now the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum—sits at its heart.

Home to world-class institutions like the Guggenheim Museum, the 92nd Street Y, and Mount Sinai Hospital, Carnegie Hill blends old-world elegance with a vibrant, lived-in feel. Its residential streets are dotted with landmarked townhouses, pre-war co-ops, small businesses, and beloved schools.

Community groups, like Carnegie Hill Neighbors, play a key role in protecting its beauty and livability, advocating for everything from green space and safety to smart development and historic preservation.

Carnegie Hill isn’t just a place—it’s a community deeply rooted in heritage, civic pride, and a shared commitment to keeping the neighborhood one of New York City’s most special enclaves.
