Which is better Central Park East or West?
There is actually no such thing as Central Park East. The portion of 59th Street that borders the park is called Central Park South, the portion of 110th Street that borders the park is called Central Park North, and the portion of 8th Avenue that borders the park is called Central Park West. But for some reason, the portion of 5th Avenue that borders the park is not called Central Park East. As for which is "better," it really depends on how you define "better." The Upper East Side (especially 5th, Madison and Park Avenues) has always been the richest neighborhood in New York City. But in the last 30 years, the Upper West Side has become quite gentrified, and now rent and condo prices are comparable to those of the Upper East Side. Central Park West has become the 5th Avenue of the West Side, meaning, the apartments there are the most expensive (this is mostly because of the magnificent views of Central Park). But because the Upper East Side has such a long history of being home to the richest and most powerful New Yorkers, it is still widely regarded as the city's most glamorous and upscale neighborhood. Living on the Upper East Side is a status symbol to the super-elite. Other definitions of better -- besides wealth -- can be a lot more subjective.

Are there houses in New York near the big park?
You mean, Central Park? Central Park is completely surrounded by city streets. The west and east side of the park are lined by Central Park West and Fifth Avenue, respectively. Both of these avenues are entirely composed of residential buildings (except for the Natural History Museum on Central Park West). Fifth Avenue is the ritziest, richest avenue in the whole city, and Central Park West is a close second. The south side of Central Park faces 59th Street. On 59th Street, most of the buildings are residential, but there are many, many, many doctors offices as well. The north side of Central Park faces 110th Street, which is an entirely residential street in the neighborhood known as Harlem.
