It’s easy enough to see what makes Lincoln Square an appealing place to live. This small, upscale sub-neighborhood at the southernmost tip of the Upper West Side is a pretty good working definition of central location -- just steps from Central Park and Columbus Circle, and directly adjacent to Lincoln Center, the famed performing arts complex that lends Lincoln Square its name. But while it’s easy to name Lincoln Square’s landmarks, there’s more to living in Lincoln Square than being near the Time Warner Building or Lincoln Center. Once something of an in-between neighborhood, Lincoln Square has emerged as a surprisingly sedate, upscale community there in the shadow of some of New York City’s most recognizable landmarks.
Emphasis should be on "upscale," there -- when the neighborhood grocery store is the Whole Foods in the Time Waner Building, the park around the corner is Central Park, and the restaurant around the corner could be Michelin-starred destination restaurants such as Jean-Georges, Per Se or Masa, upscale is clearly the right term. But while many Lincoln Square condominium listings are of the ultra-high-end variety -- One Lincoln Plaza, 15 Central Park West and The Time Warner Center Condominiums being some notable examples -- Lincoln Square is also home to some less-extravagant apartment listings, and to an understated but welcoming array of unpretentious restaurants, bars and shops. This other, less glitzy Lincoln Square is less-extravagant, but no less desirable. After all, it's still in Lincoln Square.
15 Central Park West is one of the finest buildings in New York City, boasting spectacular views of Central Park with close proximity to Columbus Circle. 15 CPW is a building that is faithful to the enduring standards and elegance of the greatest pre-war apartment houses, while providing the thoughtful amenities that meet the way New Yorkers live today. Designed by architect Robert A.M. Stern, this building is one of only a few all-limestone buildings to join the city's skyline in a 100 years.

A block from Central Park, just across Broadway from iconic Upper West Side cultural mecca Lincoln Center and home to all the amenities and aesthetic grace New Yorkers associate with Upper West Side condos, 30 Lincoln Plaza could be called one of the most distinctly Upper West Side condominium listings on the Upper West Side. But while 30 Lincoln Plaza does deliver the grace and understated elegance associated with Upper West Side living, this new condo conversion has a secret -- until just a few years ago, this UWS luxury condo was a UWS luxury rental.

Many Upper West Side condos occupy what could be described as prime Upper West Side locations, but only one has the address One Lincoln Plaza. One Lincoln Plaza's prime location at 20 West 64th Street, mere steps from Central Park and across the street from Lincoln Center, is part of what makes this one of the most desirable condo listings on the Upper West Side, and thus one of the more sought-after condo listings in Manhattan real estate.
