I use to come to Emerson Hill all the time as a child to visit my mother's family. The neighborhood is named after Ralph Waldo Emerson's brother.

"A Great Place to Grow Up"

I grew up on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, and while some of it is like its portrayed on Gossip Girl and Sex and the City, its also a great residential area. It's definately one of the ritzier areas of town, but then again it's also one of the safest. A lot of the well to do private schools are located in the neighborhood and offers great cultural activities such as Museum Mile and great shopping along Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue. You also get Central Park as your backyard.
