Yes. It is the wealthiest, toniest neighborhood in the entire city. In the last 20 to 25 years, the Upper West Side has become almost as ritzy. Often, rent and condo prices on the Upper West Side are even more expensive than on the Upper East Side!
However, the Upper East Side is still the place where "old money" lives. Extremely wealthy and powerful New Yorkers still tend to believe that the Upper East Side is the only neighborhood that is appropriate for people of their status to live.
