Moving to Manhattan NY, Is 77th Street Safe?

Question

I am moving to 77th Street 2 blocks from Central Park West, close to the National Museum, is that a safe neighborhood? Are the surroundings safe as well? If not, what neighborhoods would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It is very nice there.

Answer 2

crazy expensive! crazy nice! what do you do for a living?? LOL

Answer 3

77th and Amsterdam is in a very safe, very nice neighborhood. Great restaurants. Zabar's only 3 blocks away! Surroundings very safe, as well. I think you mean the Amer. Museum of Natural History (CPW & 79th St.).

Answer 4

This is a fine, safe and desireable place to live, albeit a little congested..

One block further west is Broadway and ther is a lot of great food stores right around there.  I recommend Fairway, Zabar's, Citarella and Food Emporium.  In that order.

For a classic New York experience, go up Amsterdam about a half mile to Barney greengrass.  Bagels and smoked fish, he's famous for his sturgeon.

Answer 5

Yes that is a very safe & rich area of the city.  

Answer 6

My friend, that area is very safe.

Good luck

Answer 7

Very good neighborhood.  Very expensive neighborhood.

As is true everywhere in New York City, you still need to be street-smart and use common sense--  Know your surroundings, avoid dimly lit areas, do not flaunt valuables, don't make yourself a target.
