East End Avenue is an upscale, low-profile Manhattan neighborhood –- one of the cities purest residential enclaves lined with pre-war buildings, walk-ups, brownstones, and post-war high rises. Neighborhood highlights include Carl Schurz Park, the 15-acre oasis of gardens, dog runs and children’s play areas designed by Central Park’s landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted. Above the FDR Drive from 81st Street to Gracie Mansion at 88th Street, a paved promenade offers majestic views of the East River. While the neighborhood has many highly ranked public elementary, middle school and high schools, many residents send their kids to the best private schools in the country that are located in the immediate neighborhood on East End Avenue, such as the Chapin School and Brearley School, or Dalton and Trinity, both of which are a short walk away.
