The Upper East Side is a picturesque area of stunning architecture, bountiful cafés, museums and designer boutiques. Though the area is traditionally associated with old money, don't let all the expensive shops and tiny dogs intimidate you. As the tradional "elite" culture is receding into the irrelevant, its epicenter, too, is becoming less and less uptight (although still expensive): the "ladies that lunch" have now been joined by young professionals, middle class couples, and even students – at least east of Park Ave. The area boasts easy access to one of the national treasures, Central Park, in addition to some of New York's finest museums. In that at least, the Upper East Side still firmly hangs onto the tradition of classy "old New York." Overall, while the vibe of the neighborhood is still more preppy and conservative than that of other parts of Manhattan, it's loosened up quite a bit since the beginning of this century.

Upper East Side apartments are generally either gorgeous and generously laid out pre-war homes or doorman-guarded but nothing-special apartments in newer buildings, although the stereotypical New York five-story "tenement" buildings dating from around 1900 are also present.
The main avenues – like Park and Madison, and, less so, Avenues 1, 2 and 3 – are generally of the luxury apartment building variety, while the numbered streets have more historic homes, some subdivided into apartments others still with the original layouts. Speaking of main avenues, while Park Avenue may be the byword for the classiest residences, the really impressive townhouses can actually be found on side streets in the East 70s. As a renter, chances are you won't be able to live there, but it's still nice to be able to walk by and admire the architecture.
