Family friendly vibe with numerous schools and quiet streets
The long-awaited Second Avenue Subway line transformed Yorkville when it opened in 2017. “It was almost like an urban legend for a long time that we thought was never going to happen,” says Elana Schoppmann, a real estate agent with Douglass Elliman who grew up in Yorkville. Prior to its launch, this quiet, residential section felt cut off from the rest of the city, although cafes and stores were still abundant. Afterward, “it really did make the neighborhood a lot more user friendly,” observes Schoppmann. Plus, the subway line increased property values while also attracting more residents and businesses to Yorkville’s tree-lined streets. Housing is mix of postwar walk-ups and luxury high rises, while the overall vibe is relaxed and family friendly.

Postwar co-ops and town home deals
The Second Avenue subway has easily doubled the price of housing from a decade ago. Postwar co-ops dominate Yorkville, many of which are found in walk-up buildings that used to be tenements. Co-op boards tend to be more relaxed versus those west of Lexington, just as high-rise buildings with family-friendly amenities are also common. Schoppmann points out that classic architecture tends to sell the best, while town house deals, and space for the money, can still be found closer to York Avenue. “You're not necessarily going to get these modern, sleek condos in Yorkville. It's more about classic elegance and style.” Beckford House by architect Robert A. M. Stern is a newer example, and its brick facade blends into the streetscape. Prices start around $300,000 for a studio and can reach into the multi-millions for a penthouse, but the average price hovers closer to $1.1 million.

Promenade with views
Central Park is within easy walking or crosstown bus distance, but the East River Promenade and Carl Schurz Park are even closer for many.

Longtime favorites and new additions
Restaurants and bars line Second Avenue in particular. Creative cocktails are served in an old-timey atmosphere at The Penrose, a neighborhood favorite. The addition of the Second Avenue line has attracted newcomers like Lashevet, a tiny brick-walled spot serving up Israeli fare. Moulin Cafe is a local gathering spot for authentic French cafe fare and coffee in cozy environs. Nail salons, frozen yogurt shops and other daily essentials are also available along the avenues between York and Third. While there are numerous grocery shopping options, Whole Foods and Fairway are among the largest, with smaller specialty grocers found throughout.
