Search this neighborhoodThe Upper West Side is Manhattan Community District 7, spanning West 59th Street to West 110th Street between Central Park West and the Hudson River. The district is defined by its rows of pre-war limestone apartment buildings, brownstone side streets, and two of the city's great cultural institutions: Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts at its southern anchor and the American Museum of Natural History mid-district. Riverside Park and Central Park together give residents more green space per capita than almost any other part of Manhattan.
Broadway, Amsterdam Avenue, and Columbus Avenue carry the commercial life of the neighborhood, lined with independent restaurants, boutiques, and longstanding retailers. The district's housing stock is predominantly large pre-war rental buildings, with a significant share of rent-stabilized units. Strong transit access via the 1, 2, 3 and B/C subway lines makes it one of the most transit-connected residential districts in the city.
