    Zip code 10028 centers on Yorkville/Upper East Side living along the East River, with leafy blocks, river breezes, and a relaxed, neighborly pace in a four-season climate. You’re steps from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Esplanade for jogs, dog runs, and sunrise walks, plus John Jay Park and Asphalt Green’s sports complex. Everyday errands are easy along the 86th Street retail corridor and the 3rd/2nd Avenue strips (Whole Foods Market, Morton Williams, indie coffee shops, boutique fitness, and casual restaurants), while long-loved German spots on 86th Street nod to the area’s heritage. Nights are low-key—think wine bars and cozy pubs—and weekends revolve around parks, bakeries like Two Little Red Hens, and quick strolls to Museum Mile. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent in the mid-$4,000s, with most rentals ranging from the low $3,000s to the upper $6,000s+ depending on size and amenities. Transit is easy via the Q at 86th Street and the 4/5/6 at Lexington; very family- and pet-friendly.
