Upper East Side

The Upper East Side is iconic for its landmarks, museums, and history. Known as one of the most affluent neighborhoods in NYC, the historic mansions and brownstones that made this area famous were once home to the country's wealthiest, such as the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Carnegie.

An address on the Upper East Side has been a desirable asset for centuries. The neighborhood's transformation from vast farmland into a prestigious enclave began in the 19th century with the subdivision of land by NYC's street grid. This change led to the construction of the first wave of iconic apartments and townhouses, many of which continue to captivate us today.

The neighborhood has landmarks:

Central Park borders the Upper East Side to the east and a handful of New York City's best museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The neighborhood's leafy avenues house elite schools and world-class retailers and restaurants.

Elegant Architecture:

Prewar buildings offer a glimpse into the architectural elegance of a bygone era.

Cultural Richness:

Stunning Central Park vistas and iconic cultural institutions enhance the living experience.

Shopping and Dining:

Endless shopping options align with top-tier dining establishments.

The removal of elevated train lines in the 1950s opened up even more rarefied air for New Yorkers to occupy. Despite this, extensive subway service runs beneath these glorious streets, ensuring accessibility without compromising the neighborhood's charm.

The construction of ultra-luxury skyscrapers along Fifth Avenue has created the exclusive Billionaire's Row, where some of NYC's most elite residents hang their hats. Several consulates are also located in the area, making the Upper East Side a prestigious neighborhood for those hoping to contribute to its remarkable history.

The setting of countless books, films, and television shows, the Upper East Side is not just about landmarks—it's about lifestyle. For those living here, however, it's all those things and more: it's home.
