    [title] => Upper West Side
    [body] => Situated between Riverside Park and Central Park, the Upper West Side has gained a reputation for providing a laid-back, easygoing lifestyle within Manhattan. It is a connected, accessible neighborhood that is excellent for commuting to Lower Manhattan and Midtown, while still retaining a peaceful ambience at home. Arts, culture, and creative cuisine reign supreme in the Upper West Side – with the New York City Ballet, Metropolitan Opera, The American Museum of Natural History, and numerous chef-driven restaurant concepts dotting the landscape. 


Residences in the Upper West Side range from stately brownstones and townhouses to elegant mid-rise and high-rise buildings. Beautiful architecture with Art-Deco details, historic stone work, terraces, and large windows are common here, and help give the area its distinctively sophisticated aesthetic. Spacious layouts, uncrowded streets, gardens and green spaces, excellent walkability, and premiere educational opportunities add to the pleasant character of the area. This is where brunch, casual lunches, and afternoon coffee are always a popular pursuit, and the hustle and bustle of business and finance districts seems a world away.
