Sitting between Riverside Park and Central Park on the Upper West Side, this apartment puts two of New York’s green escapes within easy reach – Central Park is a ten-minute walk, with Strawberry Fields and Columbus Circle not far beyond. The building handles itself well, too. A 24-hour doorman, an on-site gym, and an express subway station just one block away mean the rest of the city is never far. Back inside, hardwood floors and stylish touches make the apartment a calm place to return to after a long day out. There’s even a desk if you’re in town on business – perfect for a solo traveller or couple.

About Upper West Side
Stately townhouses and grand apartment buildings characterise this affluent, family-friendly neighbourhood nestled between two parks (Central and Riverside). The mature, refined feel of the residential side streets balances with a buzzy bar and bistro scene along the tree-lined avenues – you’ll never be short of a brunch cafe or Jewish bakery here (and by the way, the cookies at Levain are legendary for good reason). Two of New York’s best...
