    Anchored by Yorkville and Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side, 10128 stretches from Central Park to the East River, blending leafy, walkable blocks with museum-caliber culture. Afternoons mean laps around the Central Park Reservoir or strolls along the East River Esplanade to Carl Schurz Park and Gracie Mansion; weekends bring pick-up games and pool time at Asphalt Green. Everyday conveniences line Lexington, Third, and Second Avenues—Whole Foods Market on 87th, neighborhood bakeries and coffee bars, casual bistros, and cozy wine spots—while the Guggenheim and 92NY add an arts and community heartbeat. The vibe skews friendly and pet-loving, with dog runs and plenty of stroller traffic; nightlife is relaxed and local. Expect four true seasons, with river breezes in summer. Transit is easy via the Q at 86th/96th, the 4/5/6 on Lexington, M86/M96 crosstown buses, Citi Bike, and the NYC Ferry at E 90th. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent around the mid-$4,000s, with listings commonly ranging from the low-$3,000s to $7,000+.
