Upper East Side Apartments for Rent

Historically home to some of America’s most famous families—like the Roosevelts, the Kennedys and the Rockefellers, for example— the Upper East Side is known for its posh real estate and dignified atmosphere. The pace of this neighborhood is slower than downtown counterparts, and a wealth of playgrounds, community centers and schools grant it an almost-suburban feel. Central Park and the intimate Carl Schurz Park along the East River are prominent features, and world-famous Museum Mile along 5th Avenue hosts NYC crown jewels like the Met, El Museo del Barrio and the Guggenheim. Nightlife is vibrant and welcoming and the neighborhood abounds with convenient shopping and artistic embellishments. With many subway lines and buses, it’s close enough to midtown workplaces, but far enough away to feel like a well-equipped retreat.
