COMMUTER'S GUIDE

UPPER EAST SIDE

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.

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.
