It’s not tough to understand why so many New Yorkers want to live in Lincoln Square—after all, this Upper West Side locality is one of the city’s most popular neighborhoods, thanks to its proximity to places like Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle and, of course, Central Park. Adding to the appeal of the neighborhood are the many shops, restaurants and markets that dot the area, all of which make sure that residents here have a great lifestyle both inside and outside their homes.

With the number of high profile buildings that Lincoln Square contains today, it is hard to believe that this neighborhood was once regarded as an eyesore in New York City. It was with the arrival of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on 65th Street and Broadway that the neighborhood began its transformation from one containing dilapidated buildings and an unwelcome atmosphere to a beautiful one replete with swanky, urban condos and trendy hotspots. Lincoln Square has come a long way from its pedestrian past, and has now become “the place” to live.
