Get to know Lenox Hill

Lenox Hill is an Uptown Manhattan enclave rich in greenery and culture — how could it not be with portions of Central Park and venerable institutions along Museum Mile directly within its grasp? The neighborhood encompasses a grand section of the majestic Upper East Side. It overflows with world-class restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and more on Fifth, Madison, Park, and Lexington Avenues between 59th and 79th. Head-turning historical architecture is another alluring fact of the Lenox Hill life. There are prewar cooperative buildings with setback terraces and remastered townhouses in a plethora of stately styles, all of which have defined the area’s character for generations. Move eastward on the Lenox Hill grid and spot postwar condominiums in plentiful numbers. Public transportation keeps this neighborhood readily connected to the rest of Manhattan and beyond via multiple subway and bus lines, as well as the tram to Roosevelt Island.

Living On the Upper East Side

An address on the Upper East Side has been a desirable asset for centuries. Names like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Lenox — ones familiar to anyone traveling around the city today — all secured their spot at one time or another. What was once vast farmland became subdivided by NYC’s street grid in the 19th century. Subsequently, construction began on the first wave of iconic apartments and townhouses, many of which continue to captivate us today. Removal of elevated train lines in the 1950s opened up even more rarefied air for New Yorkers to occupy. Elegant prewar buildings. Stunning Central Park vistas. Iconic cultural institutions. Endless shopping options. The setting of countless books, films, and television shows. For those living on the Upper East Side, however, it’s all those things and more: it’s home.
