Lenox Hill is located right near Central Park, and retains characteristics of both the Upper East Side and Midtown East. Luxury apartment buildings stand next to elegant townhouses, mixing old and new, offering plenty of views of the East River. The area is often filled with college students from nearby Hunter College and Rockefeller University, and professionals from one of the country’s best medical institutions, Lenox Hill Hospital. The constant demand for real estate in this area has led to the building of new developments and high-rises.
