What was once farmland and woods is now a bustling part of the NYC metropolis. And, Yorkville is getting more attention than ever with the addition of subway stations in the area. What’s interesting is that it’s actually a sub-neighborhood of the Upper East Side and it’s got more of a laid-back vibe than the rest of the bunch. But that doesn’t mean it’s less exciting. You’ll be in close proximity to beautiful greenspaces, shopping, noshing, and (now) easy access to the rest of the city. You’ll also be neighbors with the NYC mayor, whose residence is nearby.

This upper east side of the Upper East Side is flanked by its fellow sub-neighborhoods of Lenox Hill to the south and Carnegie Hill to the west. In terms of its actual bounds, Yorkville is topped by East 96th Street; down south, the border ends at East 72nd Street. To the west, you’ll find Third Avenue along the border, and to the east, you’ll run straight through to the East River. If safety is a big concern for you, here is a full breakdown of crime rates in different Manhattan neighborhoods. There’s plenty packed into these boundaries, so grab your fork and dig into a bit more detail on your little slice of the UES:
- Cost of housing. What you’ll need to pay in order to live in this part of Manhattan can be described both in terms of it being relative to other parts of the country, other neighborhoods in the borough, and in comparison to Yorkville’s fellow sub-neighborhoods. It’s no secret that NYC can be quite expensive. Housing, transportation, and utilities are well above the national average. In terms of the borough, it doesn’t rank as the most expensive place to call home. Within the neighborhood, it’s possible that rents may be cheaper the farther north and east you hope to settle in the UES, which puts Yorkville right in that target area. However, simply being in the area won’t necessarily mean it’s cheaper than other parts of the neighborhood or borough. There is diversity in housing, including pre-war walk ups to luxury condos and townhomes. As such, you may not be surprised at the range of rents for a one-bedroom apartment in the area are between $2,102 and $8,500 a month. For those looking to purchase a home for their own, median listing costs of a Yorkville home is currently $999,000 at $1,300 per square foot.
- Getting around the city. If you don’t work or always play locally, you’ll find that your commute is likely under 30 minutes to many places in the borough. While it was previously more challenging for UES residents to get around with the use of the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s subway system, the extension of the Second Avenue Subway line that was completed in 2017 opened up stops in the neighborhood. Now, there are stops at 96th Street, 86th Street, and 72nd Street. This means that getting to either 96th Street or Times Square is about a 15 minute ride. For Wall Streeters or high-end shoppers, getting to the Financial District on the train will take just under a half hour. The MTA also offers bus service in the area with the M31 bus, running along York Avenue. For reference, riding from East 92nd Street to Midtown East is just shy of 30 minutes. If you’d like to take the scenic route with views of Roosevelt Island and the United Nations, the Soundview route of the NYC Ferry can get you from East 90th Street to the 34th Street pier in 15 minutes. The good news is that no matter which transit option you choose, most one-way rides will be $2.75 each.
- Uptown greenspace. This part of the UES is not lacking in places to find sanctuary in nature. If you’ve got little ones, making regular trips to the playground at Ruppert Park (on Second Avenue between 90th and 91st Street) may be in order. You can also walk or bike up and down the water for miles between East 81st Street to East 63rd Street along FDR Drive on the East River Walk. Said to be one of the best kept secrets of this part of the borough, a grand view of some of the nearby islands (Roosevelt Island, Randall’s Island, and Wards Islands specifically) can be found along the Carl Schurz Park promenade. Ready to rub elbows with the mayor? The park is also home to Gracie Mansion, the residence of most of the city’s mayors. When you’re ready to be out of the sun, you can take a tour and get familiar with some of the site’s history. You’re also not too far from Central Park to the west, so you can always enjoy the borough’s flagship greenspace without much planning ahead.
- Eating out and about. Hope you like a good Sunday gravy, because there’s no shortage of Italian fare in this neck of the NYC jungle. Though you’ll have plenty to choose from, Arturo’s on York Avenue may be the place if you’re hoping to get a taste of some old-fashioned NYC Italian dishes. That’s not all that’s offered in Yorkville though. Cafe Alsace on 2nd Avenue offers French cuisine and even has a beer sommelier to curate their beer selection. Excited for a new take on American cuisine? Chez Nick on York Avenue will have you coming back for seconds between their brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. They also have adventurous cocktails on offer. Speaking of libations, you’ll definitely want to start or end your night at your new local watering hole, The Penrose Bar on Second Avenue (they’re open until 3am, 7 nights a week). Try the Dirty Pickle Martini or the Bada Bing cocktails if you’re feeling like something a little different.
