When you think of the quintessential glitter and glamour of New York City, chances are you picture the Upper West Side. Upper West Side holds a lasting legacy in popular culture as one of New York’s most famous and desirable neighborhoods. Its elegant prewar buildings featuring opulent architectural details mark it as a mainly residential neighborhood–and among its residents are many of the world’s most prominent filmmakers, professors, actors, and artists.
The Upper West Side is lauded as a cultural and intellectual hub with nearby institutions such as Columbia University, Barnard College, Lincoln Center, the Beacon Theater, the New York Historical Society, and the Museum of Natural History. Demarcated by Central Park to its east and the Hudson River to its west, the Upper West Side’s attractions know no bounds.
If location is everything, then The Central Park Manhattan House is everything and more. A newly refurbished prewar building, its luxurious apartments and ample amenities sweeten an already enticing deal. From its modern interiors with in-unit washers and dryers to its backyard and rooftop, the Upper West Side House reflects the prosperity of the neighborhood in which it resides.
The Central Park Manhattan House is perfect for those commuting to midtown or lower Manhattan for work. It’s a mere 3-minute walk to the 1 train at Cathedral Parkway-110th Street Station, and a 5-minute walk to the A, B, and C train at 103rd Street Station. Situated within walking distance to Mount Sinai, Columbia University, and Barnard College, students can spend less time commuting and more time studying (but we won’t tell your professor if stopping at one of the many cafés along the way makes you late for class)!
This space is move-in ready; all you have to do is show up with your suitcase.

Bedrooms
All bedrooms are thoughtfully designed and place equal importance on comfort, quality, and aesthetics. Each bedroom features a convenient fold-out wall desk that you can hang back up when you’re done with work for the day. Don’t mistake its adaptability as an economy–it offers ample workspace and shelving for storage or touches of personal decor. On-trend acrylic nightstands await your bedside essentials. All bedrooms are equipped with climate-control split unit systems so that you can adjust the temperature of your room according to your preferences.
The Living Room and Office Space
Minimalistic decor choices create a calming environment that invites you to unwind and spend time with your roommates, perhaps watching a show together on the smart TV. Hardwood floors add visual warmth and carry throughout the apartment, as well as recessed lighting, high ceilings, and Scandinavian-inspired interior design elements, such as the cloud-shaped dining table that creates a distinctly hygge atmosphere.
A co-working office space provides a comfortable environment for you to work productively alongside fellow housemates. While it’s a haven for those who work from home, it also offers students a convenient alternative to their school library for late-night study sessions.
The Kitchen
State-of-the-art stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher are stylishly framed by marble-look backsplashes and quartz countertops in each apartment’s kitchen. Contrasting cabinets offer plenty of storage space and host supplies ready for you upon arrival. In case you thought the kitchen couldn’t be more lavish: it also features an in-unit washer and dryer.
The Gym
Ditch your gym membership–with an in-building smart gym, The Central Park Manhattan House offers everything you need at no extra amenity fee and cuts out the prohibitive nuisance of commuting. A Peleton bike and Tempo equipment technology elevate your workout experience by providing a personalized and adaptable workout.
The Rooftop
From the vantage point of the building’s furnished rooftop, see for yourself why countless films have been set in the Upper West Side while feeling like the main character. Spend spring and summer evenings with friends relishing the view, whether for a casual get-together or a planned celebration. What better way to toast to good times than atop your very own rooftop lounge?
The Backyard
While the Upper West Side might be known for its greenery, you needn’t go further than the backyard for some fresh air. This fenced space offers you a private oasis for self-care time, or if being social is how you recharge, it offers a chance to strike up a conversation with housemates while soaking up some sun or unwinding in the evening under ambient lighting.
The Bathrooms
Each apartment features two bathrooms which means you can luxuriate a little longer in the shower without rushing for your roommates’ sakes, and in these ultra-modern bathrooms, you’ll certainly want to linger. Marbleized tiles and contemporary finishes accompany a shower with sleek glass doors. Common to both are integrated sinks and vanities, as well as ToTo toilets.
The Neighborhood
Upper West Side extends from West 59th St to West 110th St. It rests above Hell’s Kitchen to the south, Columbus Circle to the southeast, and Morningside to the north. Upper West Side resides in a section called Manhattan Valley, formerly known as the Bloomingdale District.
There are endless ways to enjoy your leisure time on Upper West Side. Work up an appetite by taking a stroll through your pick of parks–Central, Morningside, and Riverside are all within 10 minutes' walking distance of the Upper West Side House. For breakfast, visit the gourmet grocer Barney Greengrass and try their famous smoked fish, or try Absolute Bagels, which is just 2 minutes from the Upper West Side House and consistently ranks as one of the best bagel shops in the city (and get their Thai iced tea while you’re there). The neighborhood has a plethora of excellent Jewish delis, bakeries, and quaint bistros.
If you’re looking for inspiration, the Nicholas Roerich Museum and a host of others will stimulate your culturally curious mind. Or, if shopping is more your forte, the Shops at Colombus Circle are just a few stops away on the 1 train. Make dinner plans at any of the outstanding nearby restaurants, both upscale and relaxed, and you’ll quickly learn why Upper West Side boasts having some of the best dining in NYC. Get tickets at the Smoke Jazz Club for cocktails and a swanky atmosphere, and as you make the 4-minute trek home to The Central Park Manhattan House, you’ll undoubtedly contemplate just how much you love your new neighborhood.
