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

Affordable? Give me a break.

I still love these videos, thank you for making them

Affordable housing in Yorkville, Manhattan? Where?

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.

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.

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

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

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

the old photos r amazing

Great neighborhood

Yorkville has not been affordable since the 1950’s.

Yorkville is probably the best neighborhood in nyc

Affordable??

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.

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

Wonder how it is NOW?

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

adoro este barrio

Uh you mean the Upper East Side?

Gentrification woo hoo!
