Alexander Scharf’s Manhattan Roots in the Upper West Side Growing up in the Upper West side is unique and challenging. To survive and raise a family, you'll need multiple incomes, knowledge of the local landscape and amenities that are suitable for residential living. Luckily the region is a lot friendlier to the residential types but also has a business class side that many overlook. Like the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side is an upscale, primarily residential area with many of its residents working in more commercial areas in Midtown and Lower Manhattan. The Upper West Side is a section of Manhattan, New York that is bracketed by Central Park and Riverside Park, and distinguished by regal, two-towered apartment buildings along Central Park West. It is also a place where you can frequently see families pushing strollers, walking dogs and, on weekends, settling in for brunch at famous restaurants. It has the reputation of being home to New York City's cultural, intellectual hub as Columbia University is located close by at the north end of the neighborhood. The more eclectic artistic type workers are found at the south end by the Lincoln Center. The Upper East Side is traditionally perceived to be home to commercial and business types.
