What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Upper East Side New York

it safe transportation is near and good close to restautants bars where you could go with family and friends close to broadway shows

I can walk any place I want to. Everything is nearby: library, super market, restaurants, schools, And great public transportation

There are several bars and restaurants, too many to choose a favorite. I like taking long walks and relaxing at bars.

Nothing is real unique about the neighborhood. It has plenty of grocers to use and lots of ethnic restaurants

Has a bit of everything. Favorite local businesses would be the gyms that i go to. I like going to the cafes and diners around here.

I love that I'm next to the highway and next to a high school. It has a dark surrealism that fits. It is so close to Central Park and I have access to everywhere in the city from my apartment.
