Buena Vista is a residential neighborhood just north of the Design District with many historic single-family homes built in the 1920s and ‘30’s. The Buena Vista East Historic District includes some of the oldest homes in the neighborhood with well-preserved Craftsman, Art Deco and Mediterranean Revival homes. Boutiques and small restaurants line the west side of NE 2 Avenue as an overflow from the Design District. Like many of the Upper East Side neighborhoods, the location is considered desirable due to the proximity to Downtown, the beaches and airport.
