Experience iconic New York just steps away from Central Park

Bustling Entertainment Shopping Urban

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.

In recent years the area has become the center of some of the most luxurious high-rise condos in New York, but there’s still plenty of variety to be found in this Midtown locale.
