Location: The Upper East Side covers a large area - from 59th to 96th street, east of Fifth Avenue. Note that the blocks between East 96th and East 97th have mostly been gentrified to the point that ascribing them to East Harlem (as they technically are) seems almost a pure formality. Yet, technically, East 96th street is still the border between two "Community Districts" of Manhattan (the 8th and the 11th). Sub-divisions: The north-western corner of the neighborhood is often called Carnegie Hill, the north-eastern one Yorkville and the south-eastern - Lenox Hill. Character: Usually associated with old money, the Upper East Side is a picturesque area of stunning architecture, bountiful cafés, museums and designer boutiques. Don’t let the expensive shops and bevy of tiny dogs intimidate you. In recent years the area has become a little less uptight. The “ladies that lunch” have been joined by young professionals, couples and students and other areas in Manhattan have become “hot spots”. Enjoy a walk in Central Park or a visit to one of New York’s finest museums- the Upper East Side still firmly hangs onto the tradition of classy old New York. Overall, the vibe of the neighborhood is more preppy and conservative than that of other parts of Manhattan. Demographics: The population stands at about 60,000. Mostly old money, families who have owned property there for years. Recently, young professionals and students.
