Neighborhood Profiles

Carnegie Hill

Carnegie Hill is one of Manhattan's most refined and tranquil residential pockets. Located in the northern section of the Upper East Side, it is defined by its proximity to Central Park and the 'Museum Mile.' The neighborhood is famous for its low-rise historic architecture and grand pre-war cooperatives. It offers a sophisticated, community-oriented atmosphere with nearby private schools and charming local boutiques.

Lincoln Square

Lincoln Square sits at the crossroads of Broadway and Columbus Avenue, anchored by Lincoln Center and bordered by Central Park to the east and Riverside Park to the west. The housing stock features luxury doorman condominiums, established pre-war cooperatives, and full-service residential towers, with the 1 and 2 trains at 66th Street providing direct subway access. Residents enjoy proximity to Columbus Circle, world-class performing arts venues, and two of Manhattan's signature green spaces.
