Yorkville is a densely populated neighborhood on the Upper East Side, bounded by 79th and 96th Streets between Third Avenue and the East River, with a history rooted in the large German, Irish, and Central European immigrant communities who settled here in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, remnants of that heritage persist alongside a younger, affluent population drawn to the neighborhood's riverside parks, proximity to Museum Mile, and relative affordability compared to the rest of the Upper East Side.
