250 East 87th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Yorkville section of the Upper East Side, providing an outdoor plaza at a residential building between Second and Third Avenues.
Yorkville in the upper 80s is one of the most densely residential sections of the Upper East Side, with apartment towers housing a mix of families, professionals, and longtime neighborhood residents. The blocks between Second and Third Avenues have a neighborhood-oriented character.
The 86th Street commercial corridor, one block south, is the traditional Main Street of the Upper East Side, with department stores, restaurants, movie theaters, and the new Second Avenue subway station creating a busy retail and transit hub.
The POPS serves the residential community just north of this commercial activity, providing outdoor space on a quieter block where the residential character of the neighborhood takes precedence.
This plaza provides a neighborhood-scale outdoor amenity in the residential heart of Yorkville, steps from the commercial energy of 86th Street but removed from its bustle.
