Upper West Side
Upper West Side

This neighborhood, north of 59th Street (Columbus Circle) and to the west of Central Park, is very popular among individuals that are seeking a comfortable and healthy environment. Traditionally considered the liberal and intellectual heart of Manhattan, the Upper West Side (UWS) remains home to some of the most prominent museums, music halls, and perhaps the most prestigious and definitely the oldest school in the city - the Trinity School.

The close proximity to Central and Riverside Parks, the children-oriented attractions and many great schools make Upper West Side a very attractive option for families with children. The area also includes the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the American Museum of Natural History, the Children’s Museum, and Symphony Space. Another famous landmark is Tom’s Restaurant, immediately recognizable from the sitcom "Seinfeld”.

The Upper West Side is predominantly residential; hi-rises line the major thoroughfares, and low, 4-5 stories townhouses (old and new) are typically seen along the side streets. The prices are sky-high, but are still reasonable compared to comparable apartments in the Upper East Side.
