Living in Upper West Side

Pre-war classics between two great parks.

The Upper West Side runs between Central Park and Riverside Park, and that green on both sides sets the tone: tree-lined side streets, grand pre-war co-ops along the avenues and brownstones in between.

It's home to Lincoln Center, the American Museum of Natural History and a long list of neighborhood institutions, from bagel shops to bookstores. It feels residential without ever feeling far from the city.

A good fit for

Getting around
The 1/2/3 run along Broadway and the B/C along Central Park West, so midtown and downtown are a straight ride.
