"Nannies, puppies, babies in strollers galore! - 1st Avenue and 89th St"

My home is a relatively quiet neighborhood with tree lined streets full of upper class people either walking puppies or pushing strollers. There are all the comforts of home, convenient shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. Go downtown for good shopping though. The Subway is overcrowded because everyone on the east side is using one Lexington Line (the 4 5 6 trains) especially during commuting hours. It's the Upper East Side but not too fancy, just south of Spanish Harlem, yet just as safe. One mugger in the area became the top story on the news because its so rare an event. Be sure to buy a creme puff at the Choux Factory on 1st & 87th, they are known for them for good reason! Don't ever rent a movie from "We Deliver Videos" on 89th & 1st, its such a ripoff I'm still shocked they're in business with such a limited selection at $5 a movie per night! Overall a great place to live, some bargains can still be found in rentals, but the cost of living is still very high.
