and condos, as well as many exquisite townhouses. The prewar buildings

Yorkville
is a neighborhood within the Upper East Side of the borough of Manhattan in New
York City. Roughly speaking, it is bound by 59th Street on the south, the East
River on the east, 96th Street (i.e., Spanish Harlem) on the north, and Third
Avenue on the west. The neighborhood's main artery, East 86th Street, was
sometimes called the "German Broadway."
Traditionally, the
limestone-clad blocks of prewar co-ops and townhouses bordering Central Park and
lining Park Avenue have been the most expensive and sought-after shelter in
town. Nothing comes close to the prices up here. But go further east and it's
much a different story. Once dismissed as a post college dormitory for frat
types bunking up to save a buck, the Upper East Side, east of Lexington Avenue,
has morphed into a neighborhood of nesting professionals. At the same time, the
neighborhood’s less-than-chic reputation has kept rental prices in check, making
it a relative bargain given the number of restaurants and high-end boutiques
that line its avenues — and the East River parks that line its shore.
