Welcome to Upper West Side

 
Located in Uptown Manhattan.
 
Nestled between Riverside and Central Park, the Upper West Side is one of the greenest parts of Manhattan.

What to Expect

 
A sprawling artistic neighborhood with easy access to greenspace.
 
There’s no lack of greenery on the Upper West Side with both Central Park and Riverside Park. In Central Park, Strawberry Fields, the Great Lawn, and Sheep Meadow are luxurious during the spring.
 

The Lifestyle

 
Casual strolls along quiet streets, and plenty of opportunities to indulge your cultural curiosity. In the Upper West Side, many blocks feel like quiet, small-town neighborhoods.
 

The Market

 
Pricey high-rises and townhouses, but buildings farther North can be more affordable.
 
The Upper West Side has a large number of condo, co-ops and high-rise buildings.
 
Streets lined with brownstones make the Upper West Side feel like mini suburban neighborhoods, with grassy lawns, playgrounds, and grade schools on every block.
 
Farther north above the 90s there are smaller, more affordable buildings. Out here, you can still find walk-ups for a steal.
