§ 01 — About Lincoln Square

The neighborhood

Lincoln Square covers the southern tip of the Upper West Side, roughly from West 59th to West 72nd Streets between the Hudson and Central Park West. It takes its name from Lincoln Center, the 16-acre performing arts campus that holds the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic's David Geffen Hall, the New York City Ballet, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the Juilliard School.

The residential inventory mixes postwar full-service co-ops along Central Park West with newer luxury condominiums on Broadway and West End Avenue. The retail corridor along Broadway between 66th and 72nd includes Barnes & Noble, Rosa Mexicano, Fairway, and the Empire Hotel.

Residents here share Central Park's southwest entrance at Columbus Circle and the neighborhood-defining transit at 66th Street-Lincoln Center (1 train) and 72nd Street (1/2/3 and B/C).
