If you’ve ever dreamed of living like a New York Knicks legend, now’s your chance.
A luxury Fifth Avenue condo once rented by NBA star Carmelo Anthony has returned to the rental market, looking for new residents to enjoy its far-reaching park views.
Perched high above the treetops on the 15th floor, Residence 15N at 1212 Fifth Avenue spans over 4,000 square feet and is asking $43,000 per month. It’s got the bones of a grand pre-war apartment and the polish of a top-to-bottom restoration, all with front-row Central Park views.
Anthony lived here during his time with the Knicks, and the space still reads like a home fit for a franchise player.

A 5-bedroom rental on Fifth Avenue
With five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, a private elevator, and a layout made for both entertaining and unwinding, this unit brings serious star power — and not just because of its former tenant.
Now offered at $43,000/month (Ruthie & Ethan Assouline of The Assouline Team at Douglas Elliman hold the listing), the Upper East side rental is set in a 1925-built boutique condo building with an indoor pool, media room, and 24-hour concierge.
Design details include custom millwork
Throughout the home, details like custom millwork, recessed LED lighting, and individually-zoned climate control elevate the experience without drawing attention to themselves.
The living room, dining area both have Central Park views
The living room, framed by oversized windows and a gas fireplace, flows into a formal dining area, with Central Park unfolding just beyond the glass.
The rental has a chef’s kitchen that delivers
The kitchen here isn’t just a visual treat, it’s fully loaded. Designed for both everyday meals and dinner parties, the space features Italian custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and high-end appliances by Miele and Bertazzoni.
Sleek Dornbracht fixtures tie it all together with a modern edge.
A primary suite made for relaxing
Tucked away from the entertaining areas, the primary suite is designed for maximum comfort, complete with uninterrupted views of the park.
It also includes a private sitting room that can double as a home office, library, or personal sanctuary.
Featuring a marble-clad bath with heated floors
The en-suite bathroom has spa-like vibes with Dolomiti marble, radiant heated floors, and custom vanities, echoing the same mix of old-world elegance and modern convenience found throughout the home.
The bedrooms are currently set up as kids rooms
The other bedrooms are currently set up as charming kids rooms, featuring bunk beds and hip, playful design we’ve seen more and more of throughout New York City’s kid-friendly condo buildings.
Luxury living in a historic building
Built in 1925 and restored in 2012 by Durst Fetner Residential in collaboration with S. Russell Groves and SLCE Architects, 1212 Fifth Avenue combines classic architecture with contemporary living.
It’s a LEED-certified boutique condo building with just 55 residences, offering the kind of quiet privacy rarely found in Manhattan.
Residents enjoy 24-hour concierge service, a live-in resident manager, a 2,600-square-foot fitness center, resident lounge, children’s playroom, bike room, and on-site parking. For an additional fee, tenants also gain access to the amenities at neighboring 1214 Fifth Avenue, including a club-level fitness center, indoor pool, media room, and lounge.
Melo’s NYC era — and life after the Knicks
Carmelo Anthony joined the New York Knicks in 2011, becoming one of the franchise’s biggest stars of the decade. Known for his scoring ability and clutch performances, Anthony was a 10-time NBA All-Star and played in New York until 2017.
After his time with the Knicks, he went on to play for several other teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Los Angeles Lakers. Anthony officially retired from the NBA in 2023, but his legacy in New York remains strong — especially among fans who witnessed his prime at Madison Square Garden.
