Upper West Side, Manhattan
Upper West Side Property Management
Central Park on one side, Riverside Park on the other — large prewar apartment buildings, quiet side streets, and one of the greenest spots in Manhattan.
Neighborhood Profile
What the Upper West Side Is Actually Like
The Character
Manhattan's neighborhood for casual strolling.
Quiet side streets with strollers, dog walkers, and old-timers carrying groceries. Residential above all else.
The Anchor
Central Park and Riverside Park.
Bordered by two of the city's greatest green spaces — one of the greenest spots in Manhattan, with a lifestyle built around being outdoors.
Only Here
The Dakota at 1 West 72nd.
Manhattan's most iconic apartment building — the 1884 landmark forever associated with John Lennon and old New York grandeur.
The Draw
Culture and groceries in equal measure.
The American Museum of Natural History and the Hayden Planetarium sit alongside Zabar's, Fairway, and Citarella — serious institutions, all of them.

Transit
1/2/3 at 72nd, 79th, 86th, and 96th. B/C at 72nd, 81st, and 86th. A/B/C/D at 59th-Columbus Circle. M7, M11, M79, and M86 crosstown buses.
Dining
Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway are the primary commercial strips — everything from old-school diners and upscale bistros to Schatzie Prime Meats and a deep bench of neighborhood restaurants.
Errands
Zabar's, Fairway, Trader Joe's on 72nd, Whole Foods on Columbus, and Citarella. Possibly the best grocery density in Manhattan — a real driver of tenant retention.
Green Space
Central Park along the eastern edge, Riverside Park along the western edge, and Theodore Roosevelt Park at the Natural History Museum. Hard to beat for outdoor access.
