Central Park Real Estate

Central Park apartments offer residents an experience like no other, providing unbeatable views and direct access to the largest expanse of greenery in New York City. Central Park runs from 5th Avenue to Central Park West and from Central Park South (59th Street) up to Central Park North (110th Street). Real estate in the vicinity of the Park is some of the priciest in the city, with most inhabitants paying a premium to live so close and have spectacular views. Most residences running along Central Park consist of luxury doorman buildings and ornate townhouses. Residents, therefore, are generally older and extremely well-to-do, enjoying some of the best real estate available in Manhattan.

The Park offers countless opportunities for people to be active or just lie around. Runners and bicyclists enjoy the Park for its paths (e.g. the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir) and picturesque scenery. Athletes can use numerous playing fields or the Central Park Tennis Center, which provides courts and lessons to tennis players of all levels. For people looking to relax a bit, there’s Sheep Meadow, Great Lawn and the Central Park Zoo for the kids.

Don’t forget about the area surrounding Central Park, which is filled with culture, shopping and landmarks. Two of the city’s best and largest museums can be found on either side. The Metropolitan Museum of Art (east side) houses various exhibits covering all types of art and artifacts, while the Museum of Natural History (west side) offers children a view of what life was like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. For shopping and admiring, Columbus Circle, the Time Warner Center Shops, the Plaza Hotel and the Apple Store on 5th Avenue are located at the southern corners of the Park.
