Upper 5th Avenue

Upper Fifth Avenue is an exclusive enclave known for luxurious residential properties offering discreet service and over-the-top amenities, like rooftop pools with panoramic views across the most beautiful and wild landscape in Manhattan. For the northernmost reaches of Central Park are a quiet retreat of dense woodland, lakes and streams, ravines and bluffs. Upper Fifth’s Museum Mile features posh cultural destinations like the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and the Neue Gallery. And exceptional dining and entertainment are easily accessible throughout the Upper East Side.

Though there are a few newer buildings here, most are historic gems whose Art Deco and Belle Epoque architecture recalls New York’s Gilded Age splendor. In a city of neighborhoods that run from pricey to stratospheric, Upper Fifth Avenue is in a league of its own, with condos and co-ops routinely fetching eight-figures. For anyone willing to pay for the luxury, serenity, and privacy the neighborhood affords, however, it’s hard to imagine a more desirable address.
