The Upper East Side is comprised of 96th Street to 59th
Street, from east of Central Park to East End Avenue. Traditionally, the
elegant prewar co-ops and townhouses adorning Fifth, Madison and Park
Avenues have been the most expensive and sought after in Manhattan. Here
you will find the Guggenheim and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, along with
some of the finest public schools in the City. East of Lexington Avenue is
also heavily residential, and while once home to young, post-collegiate
types, it is now finding itself transformed into a haven for professionals.
While most people prefer living west of 1st Avenue, and therefore
closer to the subway, the peaceful areas east of 1st Avenue are
filled with beautiful luxury co-ops and condo buildings and you can often
get more space for your dollar here.
Family
oriented, the Upper East Side is home to a plethora of quiet conveniences
including restaurants, playgrounds and parks lining the East River,
wonderful schools and of course, Central Park itself. |
