A Look at Yorkville, Manhattan | Real Estate, Block by Block | The New York Times

[@eze3914]

Affordable? Give me a break.

[@justrant]

This video was published before the Second Ave Subway opened and property value drove up in cost.

[@likeminas]

It laughable that Yorkville is considered affordable. It's affordable only in the absurd alternate reality that is NYC real estate. The NYT as usual propping up the hype and feeding the vicious cycle.

[@pikminlord343]

+likeminas Agreed. Thank you. They say things like 3000 a month rent as affordable.

[@peterharbur6409]

I lived in the projects...so it was affordable!

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

likeminas Well, if you wish to work in certain industries, like finance, fashion, marketing, publishing, journalism, art, diplomacy, among many - you HAVE to live and work in Manhattan. You can't really find a high-level job in public relations or hedge fund management in Boise, Idaho. People generally don't flock to live in NYC because of any "buzz" or "hype" of living in the cultural and financial capital of the Western Hemisphere. They do so because they wish to pursue educational opportunities and to advance their career.

[@TNUni167]

Affordable housing in Yorkville, Manhattan? Where?

[@coolitnow0013]

Affordable housing?2,800 a month for a studio apartment if you're lucky and rising.

[@xxholix]

Huh? I found a 2 bed apartment for 2200

[@scoutandscooter]

I live on 85th east of York (or Ave. A ). I enjoy the walk to and from the subway. In the morning it gives me time to get mentally prepped for the day, and on the way home it just gets quieter and more relaxing as I head east. Probably won't take the new Q since I'd have to switch trains at 59th. When I go to the Christmas tree lighting at the park each year I feel like I'm in a small town. I'm afraid Carl Schurz will be over run by people moving into the new developments on 1st. Remember everyone, there is a Carl Schurz Conservancy - give what you can each year.

[@kickingitwithkayla6612]

Scott Edson is Manhattan far away from Yorkville

[@PrestonFrankel]

Assuming you still live there, I live on the same block as you. Lived there my whole life. I agree about the park, too.

[@ryank.6033]

In the Park Slope video, people said that there prices were really expensive, but it was at least $1,000 cheaper than Yorkville.

[@PamiOhio]

I grew up on East 86th bet. York & East End during the 1950s and 1960s ...!

[@granny58]

I lived on 95th 88th and 92nd fifties and sixties. Different world then.

[@JuanAlvarez-zo9rg]

R.I.P HARLEM ONCE THE PLACE FOR SPANISH BLACK FAMILIES TO LIVE NOW JUST A PLACE F0R MORE PEOPLE TO PAVE PATHS FOR HIGH RISE BUILDINGS AND BIG WINDOWS THIS GENTRIFICATION THING REALLY PUSHED ME INTO SECTION 8 IT SO SAD

[@jasonyoung4529]

Then go back to school and reinvent yourself. Look at all the poor white kids that tried to move to ny thinking they could afford it. They're homeless now because they made the wrong decision

[@ChromePalace]

Juan Alvarez I heard Mexico is cheap. Try there instead.

[@MichaelNaness]

Juan Alvarez it’s not about race it’s about the rich. But all you can think about is race

[@coolman102490]

Kay Flip ym You are 100% on point

[@thatgirlinitaly]

Neighborhoods change. Get over it. East Harlem used to be Italian before it was Puerto Rican. Italians didn’t complain. We moved.

[@peterharbur6409]

I lived on 92nd and !st. I never thought the walk to the subway was that bad!

[@jasonyoung4529]

Do you run neighborhoods regularly

[@stuartlee6622]

Because you flew on your broomstick.

[@granny58]

I lived on 92nd between first and second. In the 1960's . We had the busses too.

[@joebazooks]

2nd avenue subway open !!! =) we will see if this neighborhood will be affordable...

[@magic353iag]

Exactly

[@cellbiologyshorts9105]

Affordable??

[@Pamelab252]

Try to say that now in 2023. Upper East Side is my favorite part of New York.

[@johnsradios484]

Yorkville has not been affordable since the 1950’s.

[@granny58]

Depends on which part. I lived on 92nd between 1st and second. Gentrification started around 1972ish

[@SeemaZI]

Yorkville is probably the best neighborhood in nyc

[@joshspare5713]

I think Greenwich Village but it's up there. I live on the border of Lenox Hill and Yorkville.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Very nice...Thank you...

[@leet0809]

Very informative

[@dennisn1672]

Rent keeps the unwanted poor out of that part of new yowk.

[@jchow5966]

Wonder how it is NOW?

[@ItinerantIntrovert]

I was born in 1996 at NY Presbyterian and taken home to 88th and 2nd where I still live. This video does a good job of talking up the neighborhood for those interested in moving here. But I think you swung a missed at the historical background! In 1791, George Washington brought his troops to the East River at what is now Carl Shultz Park and fired at British troops in Astoria. The area's grid was created as part of the 1819 Commissioner's Plan, and it was finally connected to downtown via the Park Avenue train built in the 1860s and there formed a commercially oriented hamlet on 86th stretching across Lexington and Third. In the early 1900s it became a largely German community as Germans came uptown from Tompkins Square area after the ferry disaster of German immigrants in 1901. The Germans living here were essential in the development of German-American sentiment during WWII, including a 1939 Nazi rally on 86th street and a counter-Nazi movement. There remain several German establishments from that era on 2nd Ave. But the area east of Lexington lay in decrepit fashion until the early 2000s when gentrification began. Now on 86th Street you find a highly gentrified commercial street with new luxury high-rises going up all around each year. On Third Avenue, family-owned restaurants and classic shops, for example the old Dunkin Donuts shop, are being replaced with health food stores, expensive gyms, Whole Foods, yoga studios, and so on. With the Second Avenue subway completed, that avenue is on the verge of major transformations. And here we are.

[@robl3415]

Great neighborhood

[@SeemaZI]

If I moved wanted to find some affordable places in nyc I would choose a townhouse in Yorkville

[@BeltranMD]

adoro este barrio

[@traceford4904]

Uh you mean the Upper East Side?

[@granny58]

No. It has been gentrified. Used to be first and second generation immigrants. German, and irish mostly. Then gentrified in 70's

[@joshspare5713]

Upper East Side is broke down into three hoods. All very dangerous. Carnegie Hill, Yorkville and Lenox Hill
