Location

The address is 160 Central Park South, New York, NY 10019, United States.

Our data records the borough as Manhattan without a confirmed neighborhood, so we do not name one.

In a straight line it is about 0.1 miles from Carnegie Hall, 0.1 miles from Central Park South, 0.7 miles from Times Square.

Those are straight-line distances between coordinates, not walking routes, so treat them as a way to compare properties rather than as a travel time.
