1130 Park Avenue occupies the southwest corner of Park Avenue and East 91st Street — at the heart of Carnegie Hill, immediately south of the dense Schwartz & Gross Carnegie Hill cluster (1133 Park: 1928; 1175 Park: 1925; 1185 Park: 1929) and within walking proximity to the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum (91st and Fifth — Andrew Carnegie's former mansion) one block west.
The Carnegie Hill positioning is among the most consequential on Park Avenue. The neighborhood — extending from approximately East 86th to East 96th Streets between Park and Fifth — combines the dense pre-war Park Avenue cooperative tradition with proximity to the cultural concentration of upper Fifth Avenue (Cooper Hewitt at 91st, Jewish Museum at 92nd, Guggenheim at 89th, Met Breuer formerly at 75th, Met Museum at 82nd). The cumulative concentration produces some of the most consistently sought-after addresses in Manhattan.
The 65-apartment scale places 1130 Park among the larger Carnegie Hill Park Avenue cooperatives — meaningfully more institutional than the tight Lenox Hill Candela peers and producing moderate annual transaction volume. The larger scale allows for a wider range of price points and configurations.
For buyers, 1130 Park represents a particular tier of Carnegie Hill Park Avenue inventory: pre-war architectural credentials, 65-apartment scale producing moderate annual turnover and price-point diversity, corner Park / 91st positioning at the heart of the cultural-institution corridor.
Architecture and unit composition
The 65 apartments span configurations from approximately 1,500 sf 2BRs to substantially larger 3–4 BR and full-floor configurations across the 13 stories. The substantial inventory produces meaningful diversity in apartment configurations and pricing points.
Pre-war signatures throughout: 10–11 foot ceilings in primary rooms, formal entry galleries, library-living room combinations, primary suites with substantial closet infrastructure, service wings characteristic of the 1920s era.
Park Avenue-facing apartments on the western flank look across to the Park Avenue median plantings and the buildings on the avenue's west side, including the Cooper Hewitt Museum block. 91st Street-facing apartments have cross-street exposures with stable residential side-street views.
Building operations
1130 Park Avenue operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with full-time doorman, attended elevator, on-site superintendent, and private storage. The 65-apartment scale produces a moderate institutional density characteristic of larger pre-war Carnegie Hill Park Avenue inventory.
Specific policy details (financing posture, flip tax structure, sublet policy specifics, pied-à-terre allowance) should be confirmed directly with property management during due diligence. The board posture follows tier-one Carnegie Hill pre-war norms.

Recent sales
The clearest longitudinal datapoint at 1130 Park is the 11-1 line, which closed twice in the modern dataset: $3.65M in June 2017 and $5.575M in February 2026. That’s 53% nominal appreciation across nine years on the same physical apartment line — a clean before-and-after comp for any future seller or buyer in 11-1, and a useful directional read on Carnegie Hill prewar 3BR pricing over the post-2017 cycle.
Discount-to-ask discipline is tight. Across the modern dataset, ask-to-close discounts cluster between −0.47% and −7.50% for arms-length sales — tighter than the broader Park Avenue prewar benchmark. The unit that closed nearest to ask was 9-1 in August 2022 at −0.47%. The notable exception is 9-2 in October 2015 at +8.77% over the $5.85M asking price ($6.363M close) — a meaningful premium suggesting a bidding-war dynamic on that specific apartment, likely view- or floor-driven.
Same-line follow-on patterns are visible elsewhere too. The 9-1 line traded at $4.885M (Aug 2015), $5.325M (Aug 2022), and $4.625M (Sep 2021, unit 9-3 adjacent) — suggesting the 9th floor has cleared between $4.6M and $5.3M consistently across the last decade for similarly-configured apartments. Reasonable framing for any 9th-floor seller.
Inventory turnover is moderate. Listings move through MLS and Compass private-exclusive channels.

Renovation is constrained by historic district status. The board reviews scope and quality with attention to preservation of original detail.
What to know if you’re selling
The Carnegie Hill positioning is the primary marketing asset. Listing copy should reference the corner Park / 91st positioning and the immediate cultural-institution proximity.
