Timeless Elegance

The Upper East Side (UES) is one of Manhattan's most storied and impressive neighborhoods. Extending from East 59th Street to East 96th Street, and bounded by Fifth Avenue and the East River.

The Upper East Side is often broken down into three smaller sections, each with its own vibe and rental price point.
