Carnegie Hill is an affluent residential area on the Upper East Side of New York City. This small  community is known for the maintenance of its thriving village center, filled with retail shops and restaurants, and its residential environment.  Residents take pride in the “suburban” characteristics of this community.

Yorkville, historically New York City's German-American community, is another small area within the Upper East Side just east of Carnegie Hill. Like Carnegie Hill and other Upper East Side communities, the culture of Yorkville is quiet and residential. This area benefits from a riverfront park, the Mayor's home at Gracie Mansion, some of New York City's finest museums and a bustling retail "strip" on 86th Street. 

Carnegie Hill and Yorkville's proximity to the Chapin and Brearley Schools make this are very desirable for family living.
