Upper West Side is one of the best neighborhoods in New York.

New York City’s Upper West Side stretches from 59th Street, Columbus Circle to 116th Street, between the Hudson River and Central Park.

For anyone wanting a less noisy New York environment, the Upper East Side and Upper West are ideal places to search for a rental or buy an apartment.

You will discover many small stylish communities on the upper west side of Manhattan. Wonderful iconic brownstone structures on tree-lined streets protect you from the noises of downtown Manhattan. The beautiful architecture of older properties is spectacular. It has many condos and cooperatives with stunning views of Central Park; it also has river views across the entire east and west side of the city.

The Upper West Side of New York is very diverse and dynamic. A very easy daily commute is very attractive, as it has the main metro lines 1, 2, 3, C, B, it also has buses that cross the city and the taxi is always an option.

There is a wide variety of restaurants and shops. On Broadway you have excellent markets for food consignments, on Columbus Avenue there are excellent boats and boutique restaurants. The area is expensive like most areas in Manhattan, but it is worth renting or buying in the neighborhood.

Entertainment is excellent in the area; you have Lincoln Center with performing arts stages on West 62nd Street and Broadway to 65th Street. In the summer, right in front of Lincoln Center, you have free performances from all over the world.

116th Street is home to Columbia University, so the area is very popular with students attending the University who prefer to live nearby.

New Yonkers who want to get away from the noise of the busy city find an escape in Central Park, with its lakes, walking trails and wide open spaces, where you can simply take a stroll and get away and relax at any time of the day.

The most expensive buildings are found along Central Park West, which is one of the most desirable areas in New York City. “Dakota”, the condo building that is also on the Upper West Side, 1 West 72nd Street, is one of the most expensive in Manhattan, and it was mainly John Lennon who lived there. The famous building has attracted the rich and famous and still does to this day.

As a real estate broker we get inquiries from clients who are only interested in the Upper West Side, or who primarily want to live near the park, some are drawn to the Columbus Circle area which is one of the more expensive areas from the city. More importantly, if money is not an object, you can buy or rent it anywhere you want.

Since the housing market is improving, there is no excess inventory, it is more difficult to find great deals and many wish they had bought when it was possible to find good deals.
