Google maps - Red shaded area

mount sinai hospital.

I mean the uneven area from 78 to 86st between fifth and madison.

You mean the landmarked area?

I believe so. Do you know which are implications/constraints of buying inside that area? Thx

It's an extra layer of approval for construction that affects what is visible from the street. From an individual owner's perspective, the impact is mostly positive. No-one can build a high-sliver building on the footprint of a townhouse, or replace period windows with white vinyl crapola.

of course, it can also increase maintenance costs substantially. matching the period windows can be more expensive (and they might be less efficient).

So, the red shaded area on the map means landmarked neighborhood?
