Central Park South

History Central Park South is synonymous with The Plaza and Eloise from back in the day, when baby boomers enjoyed the fabulous book ‘Eloise at the Plaza’. Central Park South is her territory. This neighborhood at the southern edge of Central Park between the fashionable 5th Avenue and the grittier 8th Avenue was and still is where all the best hotels are in NYC. Conrad Hilton got it all started with The Plaza and then Donald Trump moved in. Lastly, the Civil War veteran Major General Sherman died in New York City and is memorialized by a bronze sculpture established at Central Park South in 1894-1897 by the Irish sculptor Saint-Gaudens. Description Central Park South is just that, the southern edge of the park and those streets comprising it. 5th Avenue to the east and 8th avenue to the west, but not traveling south further than 55th. The east side features much of the French architectural influence; there is a sense of spaciousness on these streets. The western edge of this neighborhood is denser, busier, has more amenities for everyday shopping, a great post office and cheaper rents. Residents Central Park South residents are what Manahattan is all about: fast moving at any age, fashionistas, always carrying a book, and friendly. This neighborhood is old with almost untouched Hell's Kitchen a stone's throw to the west, and the residents reflect that comfort within these neighborhood surrounds. Couples in their 70's walking arm in arm and middle aged worker bees is what you will see. Follow the fast walkers to navigate all the new construction; they will lead the way. Rental Housing Central Park South apartments for rent will always be hard to get cheaply, but thanks to rent control some deals are still there. Know that for inexpensive central park south rentals, the building will be old, laundry will be in the basement and a doorman is hard to come by for apartment rental prices starting at $2000 per month. Depending on your needs there are apartment rentals above businesses too. The newer buildings have studios up to 2 bedrooms starting at $1million. If you need a three bedroom focus on the refurbished hotels and converted office buildings for that floorplan. There are no homes to speak of in Central Park South, you would need to go further west for your brownstones. Fun Stuff If movies are your love, then visit The Plaza and revel in the North by Northwest room Cary Grant filmed in or better yet walk in the million dollar shoes of all the 'Sex in the City' stars in and around the lobby of this famous and popular Central Park South location. Next pop across the street to The Pond on that Southeast corner of Central Park and rent a boat. You can learn more about the geographic wonder and the ancient granite all around you in Central Park South. The carriage drivers may be your best Central Park South Neigborhood guides.
