Central Park Spring Blooms--and Condos Close By
APRIL 16, 2012
Central Park’s beautiful spring flowers may be just a short walk or subway ride away from your apartment –or just a peek outside the window.
Upper West Side
West Side of the Reservoir
Kwanzan cherry trees–with their double-petal flowers and bright pink blossoms–bloom here in early May–after most cherry blossoms are already gone–giving the spring blooming season two more weeks to delight visitors. Just steps from the Reservoir, residents of the Eldorado get front-row seats and easy access to the park’s best blooms.
Lilac Walk
This path along the north side of the Sheep Meadow features over 20 varieties of lilac blooms from around the world.
Upper East Side
The Conservatory Garden (Fifth Avenue and 105th Street)
This is one of the city’s best places to be surrounded by an astounding variety of fragrant blooms. If you lived at 1255 Fifth Avenue, you’d have one of Manhattan’s most gorgeous gardens for a front yard.
Wisteria Pergola (near 72nd Street and the Terrace Bridge)
You’ll find a romantic display of wisteria vines with pale lilac flowers. If you lived in the elegant pre-war co-op at 4 East 72nd Street you’d be steps away from the park entrance leading to the bridge.
