The posh neighborhood is known as home to the city’s upper crust, but The Upper East Side is more diverse than its reputation might let on. A desire for a quiet lifestyle unites buyers with a wide range of budgets, from the exclusive homes along Central Park to the comparatively affordable buildings closer to the East River.

Gramercy is a pricey area, whether or not one lives along the perimeter of the park.
Anchoring the neighborhood is Gramercy Park, a beautifully landscaped oasis that is accessible to the favored few who possess a key.
Tony coops expect potential buyers to adhere to strict financial requirements, though buyers may find that smaller walkup buildings offer a more affordable alternative to the doorman buildings and townhomes in the neighborhood.

The ritzy avenues and leafy side streets of The Upper East Side house elite residents spanning industry, finance, politics and high culture.
Fifth, Madison and Park Avenues boast some of the most lavish, and the most restrictive, coop buildings in New York City, where mere money is not always enough to gain board approval. Elegant single family townhomes are also available for those looking for an even greater amount of privacy.

SIMPLICITY WITH ROOM TO GROW
THE VALUE IN CONDOS AND COOPS
Buyers with more limited budgets will find value in the many postwar condos and coops around Lexington and Third Avenues.
These buildings compensate for their generic style with simple amenities like an elevator and doorman, and flexible “room to grow” floor plans.
Even greater affordability can be found in the prewar walkup buildings that line the far east side.

Upper East Siders relish the slow pace and relative quiet of the area. Nature surrounds the neighborhood with Central Park to the west and Carl Schurz Park to the east.
Residents roam the streets with their children and their dogs, stopping to chat with friends or explore a neighborhood shop.
The area offers plenty of everyday conveniences, and every resident has their preferred grocery store, coffee spot, cobbler and dry cleaner.

CITY'S UPPER CRUST
The posh neighborhood is known as home to the city’s upper crust, but The Upper East Side is more diverse than its reputation might let on. A desire for a quiet lifestyle unites buyers with a wide range of budgets, from the exclusive homes along Central Park to the comparatively affordable buildings closer to the East River.

Residents throughout Gramercy love the charming, small-town, appeal.
The neighborhood is not known for its nightlife, though bars and restaurants are scattered with other local stores throughout the tree-lined streets and along the 2nd and 3rd Avenues.
With no major tourist attractions in the immediate area, the streets of Gramercy are largely left to residents who relish the quiet, low-key neighborhood.

Fifth, Madison and Park Avenues boast some of the most lavish, and the most restrictive, coop buildings in New York City, where mere money is not always enough to gain board approval. Elegant single family townhomes are also available for those looking for an even greater amount of privacy.
AMONG THE RITZY AVENUES & LEAFY SIDE STREETS
ELEGANCE WITH PRIVACY
The ritzy avenues and leafy side streets of The Upper East Side house elite residents spanning industry, finance, politics and high culture.
SIMPLICITY WITH ROOM TO GROW

THE VALUE IN CONDOS & COOPS
THE SHED | 545 WEST 30TH STREET
Buyers with more limited budgets will find value in the many postwar condos and coops around Lexington and Third Avenues.
These buildings compensate for their generic style with simple amenities like an elevator and doorman, and flexible “room to grow” floor plans.
Even greater affordability can be found in the prewar walkup buildings that line the far east side.

These buildings offer passersby a glimpse of the most glorious examples of architectural opulence from eras gone by.
Original homes built in the Italianate, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival and Victorian Gothic styles line the park, and height and other zoning restrictions help create a cohesive look despite the mismatched architecture.
AROUND TOWN
Many of New York City’s cultural, educational and commercial institutions are found on the Upper East Side.
Famed hotels The Mark, The Lowell, The Pierre and The Carlyle host distinguished visitors from around the world, and many diplomatic missions are housed in the area’s grand mansions.

EAST SIDE ACADEMIA
Locals have access to cultural and educational programing at the 92nd Street Y, and many move to the area for proximity to excellent public schools.
The Upper East Side also boasts a long list of exclusive private schools including Dalton, Brearly, Chapin, Lycée Français and Spence, as well as colleges like Hunter, Marymount Manhattan and Weill Cornell Medical College.

Anchoring the neighborhood is Gramercy Park, a beautifully landscaped oasis that is accessible to the favored few who possess a key.
Gramercy is a pricey area, whether or not one lives along the perimeter of the park.
Tony coops expect potential buyers to adhere to strict financial requirements, though buyers may find that smaller walkup buildings offer a more affordable alternative to the doorman buildings and townhomes in the neighborhood.
