Yorkville is for Families

Yorkville, bounded by 72nd Street to the south and 96th Street to the north, and stretching from Third Avenue to the East River, has in recent years been popular among young professionals new to the working world. But an onslaught of development since the mid-2000's has removed some of the housing stock once favored by young, single people and replaced it with larger condominiums typically appealing to families. Yorkville's appeal to families is enhanced by its excellent public schools, as well as its many preschools. The Upper East Side, of which Yorkville is a part, also has some of the best private schools in the world. The neighborhood has two attractive parks....Carl Schurz Park and John Jay Park as well as Asphalt Green (an indoor sports facility) on 90th Street and York Avenue. Funny how neighborhoods change as the development changes. Or, is it the development that changes the neighborhood?
