For individuals, couples, and families alike, the Upper East Side provides everything one could want in a neighborhood. Bordered to the west by the ultimate urban oasis of Central Park, and to the east by Carl Schurz Park and the East River waterfront, the area is surrounded by open green spaces. A thriving cultural and arts scene includes the 92nd Street Y and Museum Mile - a corridor of some of the world’s finest art institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Families come for the good school district, quiet streets, and access to green space. Meanwhile, the recently completed Second Avenue Subway has infused a new, youthful energy to the iconic neighborhood with high-end boutiques, lively but sophisticated bars, and top-notch restaurants.
