There’s a certain cache to having a home on Central Park South. “Everyone knows the address. It’s world-renowned and uniquely New York,” says Fernanda M. Forman, the managing director of the on-site brokerage division of the JW Marriott Essex House. But it’s not just the prestige of the Central Park South address. It’s also the grand Art Deco lobby, the services — “They can arrive at midnight and order a hamburger. We’re always staffed,” Forman says — and the location. Michelin-starred restaurants, world-class shopping and several entertainment options are within walking distance of the 42-story tower. Of course, the 843-acre Central Park is across the street. “We offer a certain lifestyle that people appreciate,” Forman explains.

Essex House Residences is a condominium located in Manhattan and the 10019 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Manhattan County attendance zone.

Neighborhood

Packed into two blocks from 6th Ave. to 8th, Central Park South is a neighborhood that plays host and neighbor to some of New York’s most iconic residences and businesses.

Proximity to Central Park is a big draw for residents. A lot of apartments for rent in this area are afforded views of the massive Manhattan green space, a rare sight among the bustling streets of the city. Central Park South is also a corridor to the retail mecca that is 5th Ave. and stores like Bergdorf Goodman, the Shops at Columbus Circle, and more.

Plenty of theatres and late-night talk show studios call the Central Park South section of Broadway home, making for an energetic nightlife scene aside from the selection of restaurants that are on offer. Bar Masa, Le Bernardin, and Per Se all offer some of the most exclusive dining in the city.
