The Upper East Side

The Upper East Side of Livorno, Italy, is also known as the 'business district'. Many wealthy families (or single beings) choose to house their businesses directly in the city while others choose to erect hotels, restaurants or open various other types of public venues directly in the city.

Because so many wealthy families (or single beings) choose to populate the city with their businesses, it is those families (or single beings) that more commonly reside on the Upper East Side simply due to the fact that it is easier for people with such financial stability to afford the living costs associated with living on the Upper East Side.

Houses are not something one would be able to purchase on the Upper East Side; almost all housing consists of luxurious penthouses stacked one on top of the other in buildings that, from the outside, look as if they touch the sky.

Stores, shops, boutiques and outlets are as high priced as anything else found in the Upper East Side, and most, if not all, hold a designer label. Night clubs and various other publicly available venues also hold names that are well known and well respected, though getting into such places can be near impossible unless you hold the right name.

The Upper East Side maintains one of the highest pricing per square foot in Italy. An early-decade report cited the average cost per square foot as $856 USD; however, that price has noticed a substantial jump, increasing to almost as much as $1,200 per square foot as of late.

The Upper East Side is currently served by one subway line, which is a four-track IRT Lexington Avenue Line, local bus routes and hundreds, if not thousands of individually owned and publicly owned taxi cabs.
