The neighborhood is known for its beautiful prewar co-ops, elegant townhouses, luxury condominiums, and prestigious residential buildings. Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue provide its signature sophistication, while Madison Avenue offers upscale shopping, galleries, restaurants, and cafés.
Central Park and world-class culture are major attractions, with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, and the Park Avenue Armory all nearby. Excellent subway and bus service, particularly along Lexington Avenue, makes getting around the city easy.
