Upper East Side Historic District

Some Facts About the Neighborhood:

The area, the Upper East Side Historic District, (59th Street to 72nd Street) is protected by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

The area's proximity to mid-town, makes this one of New York's most desirable residential neighborhoods.

Transportation is quite good with southbound buses on Lexington Avenue (62nd Street) and northbound buses on Madison and Third Avenue (63rd Street). No buses are allowed on Park Avenue. The area has two cross-town bus lines and subway stations are two blocks south at 60th Street on Lexington Avenue (N,R, 4,5,6) or one block north at 63rd Street (F train) on Lexington Avenue.

What sets this neighborhood apart from all others is its proximity to Madison Avenue. Madison Avenue has been famous for more than a century as the world's premier shopping district for the finest food, opulent merchandise, luxury lodging and services available anywhere. Other areas may have their impressive retail strips, but Madison Avenue is the world's most famous retail address.

In addition to the boutiques, the neighborhood is noted for its very attractive sidestreets, lined with many mansions and townhouses, many of which are now owned by consulates and diplomatic missions, and art galleries. All these contribute to the lush, and hushed, ambiance of this precinct of the privileged and powerful.

This area includes the lower part of Fifth Avenue's "Museum Mile." The major museum on Fifth Avenue in this area is the Frick Collection at 70th Street, which many consider the crown jewel of American museums because its small collection is virtually made up only of world-class masterpieces. There are other important museums and cultural institutions nearby such as the Whitney Museum of American Art on Madison Avenue and 75th Street and the Asia Society on Park Avenue at 70th Street.
