The Upper West Side is one of New York's finest neighborhoods, but it may also offer the quintessential Manhattan living experience. No neighborhood in New York City offers quite as quintessentially New York an experience as the Upper West Side.
On the Upper West Side, this New York-iness is manifest in many different ways. Living in the UWS means access to some of the city's elite restaurants, from iconic fine-dining establishments to famed bagelries, diners and informal ethnic food joints; it also means short walks to such vaunted foodie destinations as Zabar's, Citarella and Fairway. The culture for which the Upper West Side is justly famous is everywhere -- at Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History and at the Beacon Theater and Symphony Space, but also in the small shops, bookstores, galleries, bars and coffeshops that dot the tree-lined streets between Central Park and the Hudson River. Superb mass transit options ensure that the rest of the city is within easy reach.
The Upper West Side is also home to some of the most striking architecture and sought-after rental apartments in Manhattan. The stately pre-war rentals at 350 Central Park West offer a classic Upper West Side living experience and a coveted address, while the Astor Apartments rank among the most elegant pre-war rental opportunities in Manhattan. And yet the Upper West Side is also home to numerous new-construction rental buildings, many of which rank among the most striking in Manhattan. The Lyric offers elegant rental flats in a strikingly modern setting above the iconic performance vneue Symphony Space; The Sagamore offers spacious rental apartments and a stunning suite of amenities; Archstone 101 West End has luxury rentals rich in condo-quality finishes. Home to both some of the finest rental apartments in Manhattan and the best of what makes Manhattan Manhattan, the Upper West Side is truly a neighborhood like no other.
Few rental listings on the Upper West Side can match 350 Central Park West in terms of prime location or elegant pre-war rental apartments. With a coveted address on Manhattan's most sought-after street and a host of spacious, gracious pre-war apartments for rent, it's easy to see why 350 Central Park West ranks among the most desirable rental listings on the Upper West Side.
