 The
Upper East side of Manhattan has some of the most expensive
and sought after properties in all of Manhattan. This results
from it's proximity to Central park, 5th avenue shopping,
Grand Central station and of course the famous museums: The
Guggenheim, the Whitney, The Grand Metropolitan, The Frick,
and The Cooper-Hewitt.
Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue and Madison
Avenue have always been posh addresses in NYC. Whether in
the gilded manors of yesterday, like Gracie Mansion in Schurz
Park, or the area's high-rise modern apartments, old money
and high society have long made their home here. Consequently,
shops to serve them line Madison Avenue. Baby Gap coexists
with art galleries and antique shops. Further east, new money
has overtaken the old Yorkville slum.
The Upper East Side is home to many of the wealthiest New
Yorkers, as well as Museum Mile and world class shopping.
It is a convenient location for exploring Central Park, as
well as the many museums along Museum Mile. The famous Madison
Avenue is home to many couture and designer shops, and even
if you can't afford to buy anything, the window shopping is
extraordinary. Park Avenue is lined with gorgeous pre-war
apartment buildings and the gardening down the median making
it a lovely place to stroll. The Upper East Side is also home
to many of Manhattan's Luxury Hotels.
