KG Furnished NYC | Your Source for Furnished and Corporate Apartments in Manhattan

The Upper East Side, home to Central Park and located between East 59th St. and East 96th Street, from the East River to Fifth Avenue and is a charming neighborhood. Famous for its greenery, with two to four times as many trees as other Manhattan districts, and its high residential population, the Upper East Side offers a classic style of prestigious Manhattan life. Long seen as a home for the ultra-rich Manhattan businessman, the district has become more varied, and more culturally vibrant, in the last two decades.

The Upper East Side brings to mind the image of doormen, marble foyers, and Central Park. There are hundreds of luxury and boutique shops near 59th Street, and the area around Central Park is a cultural mecca, featuring museums and historical areas. Museum Mile, a mile-long stretch along Fifth Avenue, includes the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the Frick Collection, among others.

Since the Upper East Side is primarily residential, there are a large number of studios, family houses, and furnished apartments in NYC’s Upper East Side available to rent for between $2,200 and $2,600 for studios and $2,800 and $3,500 for one bedrooms. For corporate housing, NYC’s Upper East Side offers dozens of locations only a short subway ride from Midtown. There are also plenty of short term rentals in NYC’s Upper East Side district.

As recently as the 90s, the Upper East Side was the wealthiest area in the country based on median home price, but a number of Upper East Siders have moved away from the uptown lifestyle, to Tribeca and Soho, Chelsea and the West Villiage, meaning that rent prices have fallen and the emblematic district of the ultra-rich has lost its air of eliteness and snobbery, becoming a welcoming and charming neighborhood.
