Yorkville Apartments and Neighborhood Info

Situated just east of some of the city's oldest, most valuable co-ops and mansions, Yorkville is characterized by its eclectic mix of brownstones, tenements and newer luxury high-rise apartment buildings. Bounded by 79th and 96th streets, Yorkville runs from the east side of the Third Avenue to the East River.

First settled by Germans and Czechs in the 1840s, Yorkville still retains some of its ethnic flavor, notably the German meat market Schaller Weber. the Heidelberg Restaurant and the Hungarian Meat Market -- businesses that blend seamlessly with the neighborhood's newer and more prevalent mom-and-pop establishments, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, and big-brand chains lining 86th Street.

For most of its history, the neighborhood's prestigious high-end apartment buildings have been clustered in the area south of 86th Street closest to the park. These include 10 Gracie Square. a 15-floor coop overlooking Carl Schurz Park, and 120 East End Avenue. a limestone palazzo building erected by Vincent Astor.

Families who flock to Yorkville will find many recreational offerings, including Asphalt Green and the 92 nd Street Y. The area also boasts prestigious private schools Chapin and Brearley .
