I love the upper east side. My fiancée and I run in the evenings & there’s always other people running and walking dogs, etc., even at 10 or 11 pm, so it feels very safe! There’s an extensive array of dining and drinking options, especially on 2nd ave in the low 70s through mid 80s, including a robust bar scene. We’ve got a fairway and Whole Foods, as well as a couple of smaller groceries.

The UES is a great place to live, especially for couples who want to live in a one-bedroom without paying exorbitant rent prices. My apartment is within a few blocks of central park, three major grocery stores, two movie theaters, several museums, countless clothing and specialty shops, and numerous restaurants and bars. Anything you could ever want is within a short walk and, if needed, you can quickly jump on the 4/5/6 or Q within 5 minutes to venture into another part of the city.

LOVE it here, very residential, lots more sunlight and more bang for your buck with apartments. Bit removed from downtown/school, although made easier with the new Q train!

I love the UES. It’s a little quiet but with the Q it’s easy to get to and from campus. Nice restaurant and good value for money in terms of rent.

I have liked it a lot so far. Close to Central Park. A little quieter than places closer to school. But obviously a little far.

Lots to do. Lots of restaurants on 2nd ave that are worth going to. Some younger bars in that direction as well.

Very reasonable price for the area. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby. Only a ten minute walk from the train.
