Upper West Side

Manhattan (Uptown)

Overview

The Upper West Side is broadly revered as one of the most coveted places to live in Manhattan. The neighborhood runs from 59th Street up to 110th Street and from Central Park West to the Hudson River. It is known to offer both a more residential feel on side streets and West End Avenue, while providing a more commercial hustle and bustle environment on the busier thoroughfare streets and the other Avenues (Broadway, Columbus & Amsterdam). Over the last few years, a surge of new food establishments and downtown restaurants opening up locations uptown, have brought an improved culinary selection to the area, a big step up from what it once was. The Upper West Side consists of a wide age range from young singles to families and older residents. Living options range from high rise doorman buildings to smaller properties and townhouse walk-ups. There are plenty of apartments for any budget, but the most expensive real estate is generally found on Central Park West, around Lincoln Center and on Riverside Drive along the Hudson River. The neighborhood offers a variety of things to do with numerous cultural options that includes the Museum of Natural History and Lincoln Center. For those that love to cook at home, there’s Fairway Market, Citarella and Whole Foods. On the weekends, during the warmer weather months, there are farmers markets, tennis courts in Central Park, Hudson River Park and an abundance of outdoor restaurant seating for food and drinks.
