Upper East Side

A timelessly sophisticated and affluent neighborhood in Manhattan.

Welcome to Upper East Side

The name speaks for itself. This peaceful community set between the greenery of Central Park and the serenity of the East River has remained an icon of elegance and sophistication for over a century. Besides the advantage of its central location, the Upper East Side is a destination in and of itself with its plethora of world-class cultural institutions.

Society watchers of the late 19th century correctly predicted that the wealthy would reside near the attractive tranquility and fresh air of Central Park. This gave rise to the construction of stately mansions and palatial apartments residents still live in and enjoy today.

The Upper East Side is known for airy and sumptuous accommodations in Colonial Revival buildings and Neo-Georgian townhouses—several of which have been designated historical landmarks by the City of New York. Real Estate is on the high-end in this neighborhood, with luxurious appointments and exceptional amenities.

Whereas New York is known for its hectic, adventurous pace, the Upper East Side has consistently remained a haven for residents to come home to get away from it all.
